Answer:
-32
Step-by-step explanation:
First you have to solve the numbers in the parenthesis which would be (8-4)= 4 then there is a 2 that you have to multiply which would be 4x2=8, then you have to solve the other parenthesis (4-8)=-4 so then you end up with 8x-4 which equals -32
X=the total amount of pounds of peaches bought Y=the total cost....the equation would be y=2x
The linear approximation means that you assume the function is linear. So, just do :
f(5) + f'(5) (x-5)
This works out, in this specific case
3 + 4 (- 0.2)
Hope this helps
