Chapter CR, Problem 43E

Business: approximating cost average. A square plot of ground measures 75 ft by 75 ft, with a tolerance of ± 4 in. Landscapers are going to cover the plot with grass sod. Each square of sod costs $8 and measures 3 ft by 3 ft.

a. Use differentials to estimate the change in area when the measurement tolerance is taken into account.

b. How many extra squares of sod should the landscapers bring to the job, and how much extra will this cost?

You measure the angle from the ground to the top of the building from a point 70 feet away from the base of the building. The true value of the angle is 60 degrees, but your measurement may be in error by as much as ±2∘. Assuming level ground and a plumb building, use differentials to approximate the maximum possible error in calculating the height of the building using your measurement of the angle. Round your answer to three decimal places.
An ice cream cone company wants to adjust the existing dimensions of their cones, but maintain the same amount of volume. Their cones currently have a radius of 2.8cm and height of 14.3cm.  Explain why the height of the cone is inversely proportional to the square of its radius and why the possible values for the radius should be between 2.5cm and 3.5cm and why it was done?
The circumference of a sphere was measured to be 90 cm with a possible error of 0.5 cm. Use differentials to estimate the maximum error in the calculated surface area. (Round your answer to the nearest integer.) cm2What is the relative error? (Round your answer to three decimal places.)(b) Use differentials to estimate the maximum error in the calculated volume. (Round your answer to the nearest integer.) cm3What is the relative error? (Round your answer to three decimal places.)
