Now find the linearization.
But this time we're going to do it in a nearby integer, which is
easy to evaluate.
So if we know X not as 27.2, we're going to choose X to be
27, which is nearby because the cube root of 27 we know is 3.
So we now have a point when X is 27, Y is 3 because the cube root
of 27 is 3.
Now we need a slope.
So the first derivative, think of that cube root of X is X to
the one third.
So we're going to bring down the 1/3 and take it to the one less
power.
Or we get one over 3X to the 2/3 means the cube root of X and
then we can square that.
So 1 / 3, the cube root of 27.
The cube root of 27 is 3, so 3 ^2 is 9 times the three that was
already in the denominator.
So 1 / 20 sevens our slope.
So our linearization is our Y value 3 plus our slope of 120
sevenths times the quantity X minus our X value.
When we compute that and combine like terms, we get a
linearization of 120 seven X + 2 at the location of X being 27
which is near X not being 27.2.
