Find the approximate change in the volume V of a cube of side x meters caused by increasing the side by 1%. |
|
Answer» We have; V = x3 and ∆x = 1% of x= 0.01x dv = \(\frac{dV}{dx}\)∆x = 3x2∆x = 3x2 × 0.01x = 0.03x3 = 0.03V ⇒ \(\frac{dV}{V}\) = 0.03 Therefore 3% is the approximate increase in volume. |
