Question
### Using Differentials and Graphs to Approximate Values

**Task:** Use differentials and the graph of \( g' \) to approximate the given values, with the information that \( g(3) = 4 \). Round your answers to three decimal places.

#### Graph Description:
The graph depicted is a curve labeled \( g' \), representing the derivative of a function \( g \). The graph features a point of interest at \( (3, -\frac{1}{2}) \), indicating the slope of the function at \( x = 3 \). The curve is shown decreasing, primarily in the first quadrant, with recognizable points around the x-axis from 1 to 5 and the y-axis up to 4.

#### Approximation Tasks:
- **(a) Approximating \( g(2.93) \)**  
  Estimated Value: 8.035 ✗ (Incorrect)

- **(b) Approximating \( g(3.1) \)**  
  Estimated Value: 7.95 ✗ (Incorrect)

Note: The wrong estimates suggest a need for closer inspection and method adjustment. When using differentials for approximation, ensure calculations align with the derivative's behavior intensely observed at the point of interest.
