This free linearization and differentials worksheet helps AP Calculus AB students use tangent lines to approximate function values and estimate change. The 12-page printable PDF covers finding linearizations, estimating values with a convenient center, standard approximations near x = 0, and deciding whether an estimate is an overestimate or underestimate using concavity.
Students also find differentials, compare Δy with dy, estimate absolute and percentage change, and analyze error propagation in measurements. AP-style problems, mixed review and challenge questions make it ideal for Unit 4 classwork, homework or AP exam review.
