Consider the function 
, which has derivative 
.
The linear approximation of
for some value 
within a neighborhood of 
is given by
Let
. Then 
can be estimated to be
![\sqrt[3]{63.97}\approx4-\dfrac{0.03}{48}=3.999375](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7B63.97%7D%5Capprox4-%5Cdfrac%7B0.03%7D%7B48%7D%3D3.999375)
Since
for 
, it follows that must be strictly increasing over that part of its domain, which means the linear approximation lies strictly above the function . This means the estimated value is an overestimation.
Indeed, the actual value is closer to the number 3.999374902...
