The approximate value of $f(x)=3 x^{2}+5 x+3$ at $x=3 \cdot 02$ is

The approximate value of $f(x)=3 x^{2}+5 x+3$ at $x=3 \cdot 02$ is
  1. $45.46$
  2. $45 \cdot 46$
  3. $44 \cdot 76$
  4. $44 \cdot 46$

Solution

Given $f(x)=3 x^{2}+5 x+3 \Rightarrow f^{\prime}(x)=6 x+5$ Let $\mathrm{a}=3, \mathrm{~h}=0.02$ $\therefore \mathrm{f}(\mathrm{a}) \quad=\mathrm{f}(3)=27+15+3=45$ $f^{\prime}(a)=f^{\prime}(3) \quad=18+5=23$ We know that $\begin{aligned} \mathrm{f}(\mathrm{a}+\mathrm{h}) & \div \mathrm{f}(\mathrm{a})+\mathrm{hf}^{\prime}(\mathrm{a}) \\ &=45+(0.02)(23)=45+0.46=45.46 \end{aligned}$
