Suppose that f(x, y) is a smooth function and that its partial derivatives have the values, fx(−7,−2)=−1 and fy(−7,−2)=3. Given that f(−7,−2)=−2, use this information to estimate the value of f(−6,−1). Note this is analogous to finding the tangent line approximation to a function of one variable. In fancy terms, it is the first Taylor approximation.

Nina has prepared the following two-column proof below. she is given that ∠oln ≅ ∠lno and she is trying to prove that ol ≅ on. triangle oln, where angle oln is congruent to angle lno step statement reason 1 ∠oln ≅ ∠lno given 2 draw oe as a perpendicular bisector to ln by construction 3 ∠leo ≅ ∠neo transitive property of equality 4 m∠leo = 90° definition of a perpendicular bisector 5 m∠neo = 90° definition of a perpendicular bisector 6 le ≅ en definition of a perpendicular bisector 7 δole ≅ δone side-angle-side (sas) postulate 8 ol ≅ on cpctc nina made two errors in the proof. identify and correct the errors.
