Transcribed Image Text:Suppose a person wants to travel D miles at a constant speed of (30 + x) mi/hr, where x could be positive or negative. The time in minutes required to travel D miles is T(x) = 60D(30 + x)-1. Show that the linear approximation to T at the point x = 0 is
T(x) = L(x) = D

Recall that the linear approximation L(x) is equal to T(a) + T'(a)(x - a). Find T'(x).
T'(x) =
Substitute a =0 into L(x). Choose the correct answer below.
O A. L(X) = 60D(30 + 0)¯1 + (- 60D(30 + 0)-2)
(60D(30 + 0)1) • (x – 0)
O B. L(x) = 60D(30 + 0)
+
OC. L(x) = 60D(30 + 0)-1- (-60D(30 + 0)2) • (x - 0)
- 1
O D. L(x) = 60D(30 + 0)
(- 60D(30 + 0)-2) •(x- 0)
Rewrite L(x) with positive exponents and reduce fractions to lowest terms.
L(x) = (Do not factor.)
Factor out the common factor from each term of the function.
L(x) =|
