F(x) = x^(1/3)
f(8000) = 8000^(1/3) = 20
f'(x) = 1/3 * x^(-2/3)
f'(x) = 1/(3x^(2/3))
f'(8000) = 1/(3*8000^(2/3)) = 1/(3*400) = 1/1200
Linear approximation for f(x) about x = 8000
L(x) = f(8000) + f'(8000) (x−8000)
L(x) = 20 + 1/1200 (x−8000)
8030^(1/3) ≈ L(8030)
= 20 + 1/1200 (8030−8000)
= 20 + 30/1200
= 20 + 1/40
= 20.025
The answer is 14/3 or 4 and 2 thirds
.58. Absolute value gets rid of negative.
Hello!
To find the volume of the prism you first have to find the volume of a cube
To do this you use the equation

V is volume
a is side length
Put in the values you know

Solve
V = 0.125
Now to find the volume of the prism you multiply the volume of one cube by the amount of cubes in the prism
0.125 * 8 = 1
The answer is 1 cubic inch
Hope this helps!
