Question
Find the approximate value of $(3.98)^3$.
✓
Answer
Let $f(x)=x^3$ Differentiate w.r. t. $x$. $f^{\prime}(x)=3 x^2$ Let $a=4, h=-0.02$ For $x=a=4$, from (I) we get $f(a)=f(4)=(4)^3=64$ For $x=a=4$, from (II) we get $f^{\prime}(a)=f^{\prime}(4)=3(4)^2=48$ We have, $f(a+h) \doteqdot f(a)+h f^{\prime}(a)$ $ \begin{array}{r} f[4+(-0.02)] \doteqdot f(4)+(-0.02) \cdot f^{\prime}(4) \\ f(3.98) \doteqdot 64+(-0.02) .(48) \quad \ldots \end{array} $ [From (III) and (IV)] $ \begin{aligned} & f(3.98) \doteqdot 64-0.96 \\ & \therefore f(3.98)=(3.98)^3 \doteqdot 63.04 \\ & \end{aligned} $
