Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(-34.995\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The function is given by \(f(x) = x^{3} - 7x^{2} + 15\). Using the linear approximation formula \(f(x + \Delta x) \approx f(x) + f'(x) \Delta x\), we set \(x = 5\) and \(\Delta x = 0.001\). First, calculate…
