Best answer
Answer: \(\tan^{-1}(1.002) \approx 0.7864\)
Let \(f(x) = \tan^{-1}x\). Then \(f'(x) = \frac{1}{1 + x^2}\).
Take \(a = 1\), \(h = 0.002\). \(f(a) = \tan^{-1}1 = \frac{\pi}{4} = \frac{3.1416}{4} = 0.7854\), and \(f'(a) = \frac{1}{1 + 1} = \frac{1}{2}\).
\(f(a + h) \approx f(a) + h f'(a) = 0.7854 + 0.002 \times \frac{1}{2} = 0.7854 + 0.001 = 0.7864\).
