Question

How do we solve this?

Answer 1

f(x)=11+7√x

f'(x)=7/(2x^(1/2))

putting x=1

f'(1) = 7/(2×1^(1/2))

= 7/2 = 3.5

putting x=2

f'(2) = 7/(2×2^(1/2))

= 7/(2×√2)

= 7√2/4

= 2.47 (rounded to the nearest hundredth)

f'(3) = 7/(2×3^(1/2))

= 7/(2×√3)

= 7√3/6

= 2.02 (rounded to the nearest hundredth)
