Let's suppose y = (x)^{\frac{1}{10}} and let x = 1 and \Delta x = -0.001
Then,
\Delta y = ({x+\Delta x})^{\frac{1}{10}} - (x)^{\frac{1}{10}}
\Delta y = ({1 - 0.001})^{\frac{1}{10}} - (1)^{\frac{1}{10}}
\Delta y = ({0.999})^{\frac{1}{10}} - 1
({0.999})^{\frac{1}{10}} = \Delta y + 1
Now, we can say that \Delta y  is approximately equal to dy
dy = \frac{dy}{dx}\Delta x\\ dy = \frac{1}{10 (x)^{\frac{9}{10}}}.(-0.001) \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ (\because y = (x)^{\frac{1}{10}} \ and \ \Delta x = -0.001)\\ dy = \frac{1}{10(1)^{\frac{9}{10}}}.(-0.001)\\ dy = \frac{1}{10}.(-0.001)\\ dy = -0.0001
Now,
(0.999)^{\frac{1}{10}} = \Delta y +1\\ (0.999)^{\frac{1}{10}} = (-0.0001) + 1\\ (0.999)^{\frac{1}{10}} = 0.9999 = 0.999 \ upto \ three\ decimal \ place
Hence, (0.999)^{\frac{1}{10}} is approximately equal to 0.999  (because we need to answer up to three decimal place)
