Question 1021879: Using differentiation, estimate how much the function
f(x)= ax + bln(x)
increases by, to 2 decimal places, when a = 85 and b = 19, if x increases from 89 to 89.8 Answer by Fombitz(32388) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Seems like the hard way to do it.
Why not just use f(x)?

I'll take the value of the derivative at the average of the two x values,
As a comparison,
Pretty good approximation
