Expert Solution
Step 1

Given number is 653.

We have estimate the 653 by using a linear approximation.

Take fx=x13

First find the equation of tangent line at x=64

At x=64

f64=4

Hence, point is 64,4.

Now, differentiate fx=x13 with respect to x, we get

f'x=13x23

Hence, slope at x=64 is given by

m=136423=136423=148

Hence, slope m=148.
