Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{8}{27}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let \(f(x)=x^{\frac{1}{3}}\) and \(x=0.027\) \(\Delta x=-0.001\) Now use, \(f(x+\Delta x)=f(x)+\Delta x f^{\prime}(x)\) \(\therefore f^{\prime}(x)=\frac{1}{3(x)^{\frac{2}{3}}}\) Now, \(f(0.027) \simeq f(0.027)-(0.001) \times \frac{1}{3(0.027)^{\frac{2}{3}}}\)…
