Find the approximate value of f (5.001), where f (x) = x3 − 7x2 + 15
Let x = 5 and ∆x = 0.001. Then, we have:
f(5.001)=f(x+∆x)=(x+∆x)=(x+∆x)3-7(x+∆x)2+15
Now,∆y=f(x+∆x)-f(x)
≈f(x)+f'(x).∆x (asdx≈∆x)
f(5.001)≈(x3-7x2+15)+(3x2-14x)∆x
-35+(5)(0.001)
-31+0.005
-34.995
Hence, the approximate value of f (5.001) is −34.995
If f (x) = 3x2+15x+5, then the approximate value of f (3.02) is

Find the maximum profit that a company can make, if the profit function is given by p(x) = 41−24x−18x2
What is the Planning Process?
If some other quantity ‘y’ causes some change in a quantity of surely ‘x’, in view of the fact that an equation of the form y = f(x) gets consistently pleased, i.e, ‘y’ is a function of ‘x’ then the rate of change of ‘y’ related to ‘x’ is to be given by
\(\frac{\triangle y}{\triangle x}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\)
This is also known to be as the Average Rate of Change.
Consider y = f(x) be a differentiable function (whose derivative exists at all points in the domain) in an interval x = (a,b).
