Given that:


f(x)=\sqrt[]{x},x_0=8,dx=0.07

Find the change.


\begin{gathered} \\abla f=f(8+\text{0}.07)-f(8) \\ =f(8.07)-f(8) \\ =\sqrt[]{8.07}-\sqrt[]{8} \\ =0.0123474175 \end{gathered}

Find the estimate value.


\begin{gathered} df=\frac{1}{2\sqrt[]{8}}\cdot0.07 \\ =0.0123743687 \end{gathered}

Determine the approximate error.


\begin{gathered} |\\abla f-df|=|0.0123474175-0.0123743687| \\ =0.0000269512 \\ \approx0.00002 \end{gathered}

Option B is correct.
