    The approximate value of \[{{(0.007)}^{1/3}}\]

    A) \[\frac{23}{120}\]

    B) \[\frac{27}{120}\]

    C) \[\frac{19}{120}\]         

    D) \[\frac{17}{120}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    [a] Let \[f(x)={{x}^{1/3}}\Rightarrow f'(x)=\frac{1}{3}{{x}^{-2/3}}\] Now \[f(x+\Delta x)-f(x)=f'(x)\cdot \Delta x=\frac{\Delta x}{3({{x}^{2/3}})}\] We may write, \[0.007=0.008-0.001\], taking. \[x=0.008\] and \[dx=-0.001.\] We have \[f(0.007)-f(0.008)=-\frac{0.001}{3{{(0.008)}^{2/3}}}\] \[\Rightarrow f(0.007)-{{(0.008)}^{1/3}}=-\frac{0.001}{3{{(0.2)}^{2}}}\] \[\Rightarrow f(0.007)=0.2-\frac{0.001}{3(0.04)}=0.2-\frac{1}{120}=\frac{23}{120}\] Hence \[{{(0.007)}^{1/3}}=\frac{23}{120}\]
