Linear approximation uses the formula L(x) = f(a) + f'(a)(x - a) to approximate the value of a function near a point a by using the function's value and derivative at a. A differential dy = f'(x)dx represents an infinitesimal change in the output y of a function in response to an infinitesimal change in the input x.
