Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) -39.995

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

First, break the number 5.001 as \(x=5\) and \(\Delta x=0.001\) and use the relation \(\begin{aligned} & f(x+\Delta x) \approx f(x)+\Delta x f^{\prime}(x) \\ & \text { consider } f(x)=x^3-7 x^2+10 \Rightarrow f^{\prime}(x)=3 x^2-14 x \end{aligned}\) Therefore,…
