What is a "Small" Number?
I am given the equation, and asked to find an approximation (using Taylor's Formula):
[tex]E=\frac{q}{z^2(1-d/z)^2}-\frac{q}{z^2(1+d/z)^2}[/tex]
I am also told that I can assume "z is much larger than d, so d/z is small."
Does this mean that I can assume d/z = 0? This seems to be what that quote is suggesting.
Is this what it's referring to?
Nada.
