Answer:

2.835
3.330
Step-by-step explanation:

Let the linear approximation be L(x) at a = 0. This is given by

is the derivative of
. To find this, we use the form
If
, then 
By doing this and applying chain rule for the power (which is a function of x), we have

Then

Also 
Hence 
For
,
and 
Using this in
,

For
,
and 
Using this in
,

This point falls on none of your possible answers.
We can first tell that it falls neither positive or negative in terms of x since the x value is 0.
We can also tell the y term is negative. Therefore, it would fall on the negative y-axis.
