To help you further with this type of question, let’s use some algebra.
If L is the limit value for x (lim as x➝L=V) and h is the small variation in x and k the small variation in f(x) near the limit, then we can write f(L+h)=V+k. We need to know the definition of f(x) so that we can find the relationship between h and k. We can also write V=f(L) so f(L+h)=f(L)+k. Given h, we can find k, or given k, we can find h, provided we know what f(x) is.
EXAMPLES
(1) f(x)=2x+1, L=3, V=7=f(3)=f(L). f(3+h)=7+k using f(L+h)=f(L)+k.
In algebraic terms, f(L+h)=2(L+h)+1 and f(L)=2L+1. So 2(L+h)+1=2L+1+k. And 2L+1+2h=2L+1+k. Remove 2L+1 from each side: 2h=k or h=k/2. If k=0.54 then h=0.27. If h=0.01 then k=0.02. We see below the same result by substituting numbers.
Substituting for L we have f(3+h)=2(3+h)+1=7+2h; f(3)=2×3+1=7, so 7+2h=7+k and 2h=k or h=k/2. If k is given as 0.54 then h=0.27. Or if h is given as 0.01, then k=2h=0.02.
(2) f(x)=√(x+1), L=3, V=2=f(3)=f(L).
Stick with algebra for the moment: f(L+h)=√(L+h+1). Also f(L)=√(L+1).
f(L+h)=f(L)+k, so √(L+h+1)=√(L+1)+k.
We can write the left-hand side √((L+1)(1+h/(L+1)).
This becomes √(L+1)(1+h/(L+1))^½=√(L+1)(1+h/(2(L+1)) approximately when h is small. This expands to √(L+1)+h/(2√(L+1)).
So, √(L+1)+h/(2√(L+1))=√(L+1)+k. We can remove √(L+1) from each side:
h/(2√(L+1))=k which relates h and k. So we also write h=2k√(L+1). Now we can start to substitute values for L and h or k.
If we are given k=0.0002 then h=0.0004√(3+1)=0.0004×2=0.0008.
If instead we had been given h=0.001, then k=0.001/(2×2)=0.001/4=0.00025.
