use calculus, NOT calculator (cube root of 1001)

Use calculus, NOT calculators! We will use a tangent line approximation to approximate the cube root of 1001. This is called local linear approximation which is an application of derivatives in calculus 1.

to other time travellers: it's easier to plug in 1001 into point-slope to begin with. you immediately get y = 10 + 1/300. :)
