Question
Find the approximate value of $\sqrt{64.1}$.
✓
Answer
Let $f(x)=\sqrt{x}$ Differentiate w.r. $t . x$. $f^{\prime}(x)=\frac{1}{2 \sqrt{x}}$ Let $a=64, h=0.1$ For $x=a=64$, from (I) we get $f(a)=f(64)=\sqrt{64}=8$ For $x=a=64$, from (II) we get $f^{\prime}(a)=f^{\prime}(64)=\frac{1}{2 \sqrt{64}}=\frac{1}{16}$ $\therefore \quad f^{\prime}(a)=0.0625$ We have, $f(a+h) \doteqdot f(a)+h f^{\prime}(a)$ $f(64+0.1) \doteqdot f(64)+(0.1) \cdot f^{\prime}(64)$ $f(64.1) \doteqdot 8+(0.1) \cdot(0.0625) \ldots$ [From (III) and (IV)] $ \doteqdot 8+0.00625 $ $\therefore f(64.1)=\sqrt{64.1} \doteqdot 8.00625$
