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...

Answer:
51. A/P = (2.2t +25)/(2.6t +29)
52. A/P for t=0 is about 0.862
A/P for t=4 is about 0.858
Step-by-step explanation:
51. The ratio of the two given functions is ...
r(t) = A/P
r(t) = (2.2t +25)/(2.6t +29)
__
52. Fill in the required numbers and do the arithmetic.
r(0) = (0 +25)/(0 +29) = 25/29
r(0) ≈ 0.862
_
r(4) = (2.2·4 +25)/(2.6·4 +29) = 33.8/39.4
r(4) ≈ 0.858
The salary ratio is approximately flat at 0.86 over the 4-year period. It is declining slightly each year.
