Math Problem Statement

Misalkan f(x)=x−−√ . Hampiran nilai 80−−√ yang baik dapat ditentukan sebagai berikut

Select one:

a. f(81+(−1))≈f′(81) (−1)

b. f(9+71)≈f′(9) (71)−f(9)

c. f(9+71)≈f′(9) (71)+f(9)

d. f(81+(−1))≈f′(81) (−1)+f(81)

e. f(81+(−1))≈f′(81) (−1)−f(81)

Solution

To determine the best approximation for 80\sqrt{80} using the function f(x)=xf(x) = \sqrt{x}, we can apply the linear approximation formula:

f(a+h)f(a)+f(a)hf(a + h) \approx f(a) + f'(a) \cdot h

where aa is a point near 8080, and hh is a small increment or decrement from that point.

  1. Identify aa: A suitable choice for aa is 8181, since 81=9\sqrt{81} = 9.

  2. Calculate f(x)f'(x): f(x)=12xf'(x) = \frac{1}{2\sqrt{x}} Therefore, at x=81x = 81: f(81)=1281=118f'(81) = \frac{1}{2\sqrt{81}} = \frac{1}{18}

  3. Calculate hh: Here, h=1h = -1 (since 80=81180 = 81 - 1).

Using the linear approximation: f(80)f(81)+f(81)(1)f(80) \approx f(81) + f'(81) \cdot (-1)

This matches option a: f(81+(1))f(81)(1)f(81 + (-1)) \approx f'(81)(-1)

Therefore, the correct answer is: a. f(81+(1))f(81)(1)f(81 + (-1)) \approx f'(81)(-1)
