Calculate the Differential of the Following Functions:
1 ![]()
2 ![]()
3 ![]()
4![]()
5A square has a side of 2 m. Determine the increase in area of the square when its sides increase by 1 milimeter. Calculate the error made when using differentials rather than increases.
6Find the change in the volume of a cube of with edges of 20 centimeters, when each edge increases by 0.2 cm in length..
7Calculate the absolute and relative error made when calculating the volume of a sphere of 12.51 milimeters in diameter, measured with an instrument that shows thousandths of a centimeter.
8If
