Use a linear approximation (or differentials) to estimate the given number to the nearest hundredth. Start by defining an appropriate \( f(x) \) and then use \( y \approx y_0 + dy \) where the differential \( dy \) gives the change along the tangent line at a convenient nearby point.

(a) \( \sin(3) \)

(b) \( \sqrt{4.1} \)
