Suppose that we don't have a formula for g(x) but we know that g(3) = −5 and g'(x) = x2 + 7 for all x. (

So it tells us that g(3) = -5 and g'(x) = x^2 + 7.

So g(3) = -5 is the point (3, -5)
Using linear approximation
g(2.99) is the point (2.99, g(3) + g'(3)*(2.99-3))

now we just need to simplify that
(2.99, -5 + (16)*(-.01)) which is (2.99, -5 + -.16) which is (2.99, -5.16)
So g(2.99) = -5.16 

Doing the same thing for the other g(3.01)
(3.01, g(3) + g'(3)*(3.01-3))
(3.01, -5 + 16*.01) which is (3.01, -4.84)
So g(3.01) = -4.84

So we have our linear approximation for the two. 

If you wanted to, you could check your answer by finding g(x).  Since you know g'(x), take the antiderivative and we will get 
g(x) = 1/3x^3 + 7x + C
Since we know g(3) = -5, we can use that to solve for C
1/3(3)^3 + 7(3) + C = -5 and we find that C = -35
so that means g(x) = (x^3)/3 + 7x - 35

So just to check our linear approximations use that to find g(2.99) and g(3.01)

g(2.99) = -5.1597
g(3.01) = -4.8397

So as you can see, using the linear approximation we got our answers as
g(2.99) = -5.16
g(3.01) = -4.84
which are both really close to the actual answer.  Not a bad method if you ever need to use it.

Write an equation of the line that passes through the points (0,4) and (2,10).
andreev551 [17]

Answer:

y = 3x+4

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the coordinates of the points to find the slope of the line passing through them.

slope = Δy/Δx = (10-4)/(2-0) = 6/2 = 3

Point-slope equation for line of slope 3 that passes through (0,4):

y-4 = 3(x-0)

Slope-intercept form of the equation:

y = 3x+4

Able, Ben and Cal each played a game able’s score was six times ben’s score, Cale score was a hird time of Able’s score write do
Deffense [45]

Answer:

6:1:2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a = Able's score, b = Ben's score, and c = Cal's score.

Since

Able's score was 6 times Ben's score, that means a = 6b.

Cal's score was a third of Able's score, so that means c = a/3. And since a = 6b, that means c = 6b / 3 = 2b.

Thus, the ratio of Able's score to Ben's score to Cal's score, a:b:c, is 6:1:2, because c is twice as much as b and a is 6 times as much as b.

Is 3/8 more or less than 3/6 please explain
Hunter-Best [27]
It's less that 3/6 because the bigger the fraction is the smaller it gets. So what I'm trying to imply is ,that the higher the number is in a fraction then the outcome would be smaller.
