Answer

Estimate = $0.244$ Actual = $0.244$

Work Step by Step

Estimate $C'(x)$ = $0.25-1.5(\frac{x}{1000})^{2}(\frac{1}{1000})$ = $0.25-0.0015(\frac{x}{1000})^{2}$ $C'(2000)$ = $0.25-0.0015(\frac{2000}{1000})^{2}$ = $0.244$ Actual $C(2000)$ = $300+(0.25\times2000)-0.5(\frac{2000}{1000})^{3}$ = $796$ $C(2001)$ = $300+(0.25\times2001)-0.5(\frac{2001}{1000})^{3}$ = $796.244$ $C(2001)-C(2000)$ = $796.244-796$ = $0.244$
