The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

Given, $f(x)=x^{3}+5 x^{2}-7x+9$
On differentiating both sides w. r. t. $x$, we get
$f' (x)=3 x^{2}+10x-7$
Let $x=1$ and $\Delta x=0.1$, so that
$f(x+\Delta \,x)=f (1+0.1)=f(1.1)$
We know that,
$f(x+\Delta \,x)=f(x)+\Delta x f' (x)$
$=x^{3}+5 x^{2}-7 x+9+\Delta \,x \times \left(3 x^{2}+10 x -7\right)$
Put $x = 1$ and $\Delta x=0.1$, we get
$f (1+0.1)$
$=1^{3}+5(1)^{2}-7(1)+9+0.1 \times\left(3 \times 1^{2}+10 \times 1-7\right)$
$\Rightarrow f(1.1)=1+5-7+9+0.1(3+10-7)$
$=8+0.1(6)=8+0.6=8.6$

Various Applications of Derivatives-

Rate of Change of Quantities:

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.

Increasing and Decreasing Function:

Consider y = f(x) be a differentiable function (whose derivative exists at all points in the domain) in an interval x = (a,b).

  • If for any two points x1 and x2 in the interval x such a manner that x1 < x2, there holds an inequality f(x1) ≤ f(x2); then the function f(x) is known as increasing in this interval.
  • Likewise, if for any two points x1 and x2 in the interval x such a manner that x1 < x2, there holds an inequality f(x1) ≥ f(x2); then the function f(x) is known as decreasing in this interval.
  • The functions are commonly known as strictly increasing or decreasing functions, given the inequalities are strict: f(x1) < f(x2) for strictly increasing and f(x1) > f(x2) for strictly decreasing.
