You can indeed compute:
f ( 3.02 ) f ( 3 ) = ( 3.02 ) 2 3 2 = ( 6.02 ) 0.02 = 0.1204 ,
the exact value. The point of the exercise is avoiding this computations. Using linear approximation gives:
L ( 3.02 ) = f ( 3 ) + f ( 3 ) 0.02 ,
so that Δ f f ( 3 ) 0.02 = 6 0.02 = 0.12.

Hint:
Δ f 0.02 = f ( 3.02 ) f ( 3 ) 0.02 = f ( 3 + 0.02 ) f ( 3 ) 0.02 lim h 0 f ( 3 + h ) f ( 3 ) h = f ( 3 )
