Let ff be a differentiable function such that f(3)=8f(3) = 8 and f(3)=2f'(3) = -2. Which of the following is the best approximation of f(3.1)f(3.1) using local linearity?

Explanation

Core Concept

Correct. Using the tangent line approximation: f(3.1)f(3)+f(3)(3.13)=8+(2)(0.1)=7.8f(3.1) \approx f(3) + f'(3)(3.1 - 3) = 8 + (-2)(0.1) = 7.8.
