Concept:

Let small charge in x be Δx and the corresponding change in y is Δy.

Therefore 

 

Calculation:

Given: y = 3x2 + 2

To Find: total change in y = Δy

x changes from 10 to 10.1

So, Δx = 10.1 - 10 = 0.1

Now, y = 3x2 + 2

Differentiating with respect to x, we get

As we know, 

Put x = 10 and Δx = 0.1
