Step-by-Step Analysis
Question restatement: Using differentials, approximate the cube root of 123, i.e., ∛123, with the given options for the result. Option 1: 4 73/75. This matches the differential approximation: take a nearby perfect cube, here 125 = 5^3, so ∛125 = 5. Let f(x) = x^{1/3}; f'(x) = (1/3)x^{-2/3}. At x0 = 125, f'(125) = (1/3) * 125^{-2/3} = (1/3) * (1/25) = 1/75. Since 123 = 125 - 2, the differential gives ∛123 ≈ ∛125 + f'(125)(-2) = 5 - 2/75 = (375 -......Login to view full explanation
