Let f(x)=√x. (a) Use linear approximation at x = = 125 to approximate f(124.7) = 124.7. The Linear approximation of f(x) at x = 125 is L(x) = x+ Using this, we find our approximation for $124.7. Round your answer to at least 6 decimal places. (b) Is your estimate in (a) is greater or smaller than the calculator's value? Explain the reason using a sketch.
