Homework Statement
Verify the given linear approximation at
a = 0.
Then determine the values of x for which the linear approximation is accurate to within 0.1. (Enter your answer using interval notation. Round your answers to three decimal places.)
1/(1 + 3x)^3 ≈ 1 − 9x
Homework Equations
I have no idea how to find the x values
The Attempt at a Solution
(1/(1+3x)^3)-0.1<1-9x<(1/(1+3x)^3)+0.1 is how my textbook sets up the problem and then all of a sudden they seem to compute the x values that is unknown to me. is it simply just solving the inequality for x (subtract 1 and then divide by -9 having x=0) thanks and any help will be appreciated.
