This problem will count towards the final baby test. Find the tangent line to the equation f(x) = √2x at x = 3. Use the tangent line to estimate x = 3.01. How far off is the tangent line estimation from the actual equation (hint: you'll need to find the y-value of X = 3.01)?

This problem will count towards the final baby test.
Find the tangent line to the equation f(x) = √2x at
x = 3. Use the tangent line to estimate x = 3.01. How
far off is the tangent line estimation from the actual
equation (hint: you'll need to find the y-value of
X = 3.01)?
