Options
- A3.96
- B9.96
- C4.98
- D5.98
Correct answer
A. 3.96
Step-by-step solution
Given function, f x = x 2 - 2 x + 1 ⇒ f ' x = 2 x - 2 Let x = 3 and Δ x = - 0.01 So that f x + Δ x = f 2.99 We know that, f x + Δ x ≈ f x + Δ x f ' x ≈ x 2 - 2 x + 1 + - 0.01 2 x - 2 Putting x = 3 and Δ x = - 0.01 , we get f 2.99 ≈ 3 2 - 2 × 3 + 1 + - 0.01 2 × 3 - 2 ≈ 4 + - 0.01 4 ≈ 4 - 0.04 ≈ 3.96
