Given f ( x ) = x 3 - 4 x , if x changes from 2 to 1 . 99 , then the approximate change in the value of f ( x ) is
Options
- A0.08
- B− 0.08
- C0.8
- D− 0.8
Correct answer
B. − 0.08
Step-by-step solution
Let, y = x 3 - 4 x , Since, we have x = 2 and ∆ x = - 0 . 01 Now, d y d x = 3 x 2 - 4   ⇒ d y d x x = 2 = 3 x 2 - 4 x = 2 = 8 So, ∆ y = d y d x ∆ x = 8 × - 0 . 01 = - 0 . 08
