set f ( x ) = ( 2 + x ) 2 1 5 x expand it then set x = 0.01.
using linear approximation f ( x ) = 4 + 14 x f ( 0.01 ) = 4.14.

You may also do it using the linear approximation of f ( x , y ) = x 2 y at ( x 0 , y 0 ) = ( 2 , 1 ) with Δ x = 0.01 and Δ y = 0.05:
f ( x , y ) l i n e a r f ( x 0 , y 0 ) + f x ( x 0 , y 0 ) Δ x + f y ( x 0 , y 0 ) Δ y
With
f x = 2 x y
f y = x 2 2 y 3
you get
( 2.01 ) 2 .95 4 + 4 0.01 2 0.05 = 3.94
