Question

Use a linear approximation (or differentials) to estimate the given number. (Round your answer to two decimal places.) (32.03)4/5

Answer 1

Answer:

16.024

Explanation:

Using linear approximation:

We breakdown the numbers in order to solve thus:

[32(1 + 0.1875)]^0.8

= (32^0.8)*(1 + 0.001875)^0.8

= 16* (1 + 0.8*0.001875)

= 16*(1.0015)

= 16.024
