Linear Functions
A linear function can just be a constant, or it can be the constant multiplied with the variable like x or y. If the variables are of the form, x2, x1/2 or y2 it is not linear. The exponent over the variables should always be 1.

4.10.
If y = f(x) = x – 6x, find (a) Ay, (b) dy, and (c) Ay – dy.
(a) Ay = f(x + Ax) – f(x) = {(x + Ax)³ –6(x + Ax)} – {x³ – 6x}
=x' + 3x Ax + 3x(Ax)² + (Ax)³ – 6x – 6Ax – x² + 6x
= (3x – 6) Ax + 3x(Ar)² + (Ax)³
(b) dy = principal part of Ay = (3x² – 6)Ar = (3x² – 6)dx, since by definition Ax = dx.
Note that f'(x) = 3x – 6 and dy = (3x – 6)dx, i.e.; dy/dx = 3x² – 6. It must be emphasized that dy and dx
are not necessarily small.
(c) From (a) and (b), Ay – dy = 3x(Ax)² + (Ax)³ = €Ax, where e = 3xAx + (Ax)'.
Ду — dy
Note that e → 0 as Ar → 0; i.e.,
→0 as Ar → 0. Hence, Ay – dy is an infinitesimal of higher
Ar
order than Ax (see Problem 4.83).
In case Ax is small, dy and Ay are approximately equal.
