"Suppose that I don't have a formula for #g(x)# but I know that #g(1)
= 3# and #g'(x) = sqrt(x^2+15)# for all x. How do I use a linear approximation to estimate #g(0.9)# and #g(1.1)#?"

A simple sugar is either a monosaccharide or a disaccharide while a complex carbohydrate is a polysaccharide
Explanation:
A monosaccharide has one carbon ring e.g. glucose. A disaccharide has two carbon rings instead, e.g. galactose. A polysaccharide has three or more carbon rings, like starch.
