Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(-39.995\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The function is given by \(f(x) = x^{3} - 7x^{2} + 10\). The approximate value of \(f(x + \Delta x)\) is given by \(f(x) + f'(x) \Delta x\). Here, \(x = 5\) and \(\Delta x = 0.001\). First, calculate \(f(5) = (5)^{3} - 7(5)^{2} + 10 = 125 - 7(25) + 10 = 125 - 175 + 10 = -40\).…
