![f(x)=(x)^(1/3) f′(x)=(x^(−(2/3)) /3)>0 for x>0 f′′(x)=−((2x^(−(5/3)) )/9)<0 for x>0 that means for x>0, f(x) is increasing, f′(x) is decreasing. f(7)=(7)^(1/3) =((8−1))^(1/3) =(8)^(1/3) −((f(8)−f(7))/1) f(9)=(9)^(1/3) =((8+1))^(1/3) =(8)^(1/3) +((f(9)−f(8))/1) ((f(9)−f(8))/1)<((f(8)−f(7))/1) f(7)+f(9)=2(8)^(1/3) +[((f(9)−f(8))/1)−((f(8)−f(7))/1)] <2(8)^(1/3) ⇒(7)^(1/3) +(9)^(1/3) <2(8)^(1/3) =2×2=4](https://www.tinkutara.com/question/Q143362.png)
