I am reading Andrew McInerney's book: First Steps in Diofferential Geometry: Riemannian, Contact, Symplectic ... and I am focused on Chapter 3: Advanced Calculus ... and in particular on Section 3.1: The Derivative and Linear Approximation ...
I am trying to fully understand Definition 3.1.1 and need help with an example based on the definition ...
Definition 3.1.1 reads as follows:
View attachment 8913I constructed the following example ...
Let $$f: \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}^2 $$
such that $$f = ( f^1, f^2 )$$
where $$f^1(x) = 2x$$ and $$f^2(x) = 3x + 1$$
We wish to determine $$T_a(h)$$ ... We have $$f(a + h) = ( f^1(a + h), f^2(a + h) )= (2a + 2h, 3a + 3h +1 )$$
and
$$f(a ) = ( f^1(a ), f^2(a ) ) = (2a , 3a +1 )$$
Now ... consider ... $\displaystyle \lim_{ \mid \mid h \mid \mid \to 0} \frac{ \mid \mid f(a + h) - f(a) - T_a(h) \mid \mid }{ \mid \mid h \mid \mid } $$$\Longrightarrow \displaystyle \lim_{ \mid \mid h \mid \mid \to 0} \frac{ \mid \mid (2a + 2h, 3a + 3h +1) - (2a, 3a + 1) - T_a(h) \mid \mid }{ \mid \mid h \mid \mid }$$$$\Longrightarrow \displaystyle \lim_{ \mid \mid h \mid \mid \to 0} \frac{ \mid \mid ( 2h, 3h ) - T_a(h) \mid \mid }{ \mid \mid h \mid \mid }$$... ... but how do I proceed from here ... ?
... can I take $$T_a (h) = T_a.h$$ ... but how do I justify this?Hope someone can help ...
