Both should be adjectives, of course.
The second seems to be derivative of the other (so it is claimed in an online dictionary).
But the first sounds strange to my Slavic ear in the scientific context, for example
Approximate equations
does not sound well. I think that
Approximative equations
sounds better. I am curious how an English speaking person sees this.
