more local linearization
find the local linearization of the function f(x,y) = √(x³+y4) at the point (1,2). use it to estimate f(1.04,1.98).

Re: more local linearization
I'm bad at calc, but I would do dx-deriv 1st and dy-deriv for a 2nd equation.
^ = exponent
* = multiply
x'=[0.5(x^3+y^4)^-0.5]*3x^2
y'=[0.5(x^3+y^4)^-0.5]*4y^3
I'm totally guessing though.
