Linear approximation or differentials. :P
\[\sqrt[3]{1001}\]
\[f(x)=\sqrt[3]{x},,, a=1000\]
f(a)+f '(a)(x-a)
\[10+\frac{ 1 }{ 300 }(\sqrt[3]{1001}-1000)\]
=6.700
the answer is 10.003 where am i going wrong?
hello
\[f(x)=x^{1/3}\]\[f(x)\approx f(x_0)+f'(x_0)(x-x_0)\]let\[x_0=1000\]\[f(x)\approx10+\frac13(1000)^{-2/3}(x-1000)=10+\frac x{300}-\frac{10}3\]so about \(x_0=1000\) we have\[f(x)\approx\frac{20}3+\frac x{100}\]
I just brushed up on this stuff so I thought I'd give it a try :)
ahhh, ok so at the end plug in 1000
no, plug in x=1001
you need to choose \(x\approx x_0=1000\) and \(1001\approx1000\), so it works
that does not equal 10.003 though :(
it does by my calculator :/
oh I made a typo at the end
\[\frac{ 20 }{ 3 } + \frac{ 1001 }{ 100 }\]
I should have gotten\[f(x)\approx\frac{20}3+\frac x{300}\]I switched out the base on x for some reason, you should really check my work though
ahh
