Multiply untegers and divide integers?
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...
Question options:
A. He should report them directly on form 1040
B. He should report them on form 8949 and then on schedule D
C. He should report them on schedule D
D. He is not required to report them until he sells the underlying securities
Answer:
B. He should report them on form 8949 and then on schedule D
Explanation:
John has shares which have capital gains from a mutual fund and a brokerage account. In order to report his taxes, he would need to use the Schedule D(form 1040) for his mutual fund capital gains and the form 8949 for his brokerage capital gains. The brokerage capital gains is then transferred to schedule D.
