Estimate the change in the volume of a cylinder when its radius changes from r=2 mr=2\text{ m} to r=2.02 mr=2.02\text{ m}, given the height h=5 mh=5\text{ m}. Note: V(r)=πr2hV\left(r\right)=\pi r^2h.
Provide the differential expression dy=f′(x)dxdy=f^{\prime}\left(x\right)dx for the following function:
f(x)=2sin2(2x)f\left(x\right)=2\sin^2\left(2x\right)
Using Newton's Method, estimate the solution to the equation x=e−xx=e^{-x} in the interval (0,1)(0,1). Starting with an initial guess of x0=0.5x_0=0.5, what is the first approximation (x1)\left(x_1\right) in two decimal places?
A money worth \(3000\$3000\)3000 is deposited in a 4−year4-year4−year savings account that pays a fixed annual interest rate rrr (expressed as a decimal) with quarterly compounding. The amount in the account after 444 years is given by a(r)=3000(1+r4)16a\left(r\right)=3000\left(1+\frac{r}{4}\right)^{16}a(r)=3000(1+4r)16. Find the value of rrr (using Newton’s method) needed for the account to grow to \(4000\$4000\)4000 after 444 years.
Write the differential of the surface area of a cone with a slant height ll, when the slant height changes from ll to l+dll + dl.
The length of a rectangular prism is measured to be 120±0.5 cm120\pm0.5\text{ cm}, width 80 cm80\text{ cm}, and height 60 cm60\text{ cm}. Estimate the percentage error in the volume calculation based on the uncertainty in the length measurement.
