Let y = x^1/4
x = 16, y = (16)^1/4 = 2
∆x= 15 – 16 = – 1
∵ y = x^1/14
Diff. w.r.t. x

Question 6.
\(\sqrt { 401 }\)
Solution:
Let
y = x^1/2, x = 400, y = 20,
∆x = 401 – 400 = 1
∵ y = x^1/2
Diff. w.r.t. x

Question 7.
(3.968)^3/2
Solution:
Let y = x^3/2, x = 4
y = (4)^3/2 = (22)^3/2 = 23 = 8
∆x = 3.968 – 4 = -0.032
∵ y = x^3/2
Diff. w.r.t. x

Question 8.
(32.15)^1/5
Solution:
Let y = x^1/5, x = 32, y = (32)^1/5 = 2,
∆x = 32.15 – 32 = 0.15
∵ y = x^1/5
Diff. w.r.t. x

Question 9.
\(\sqrt { 0.6 }\)
Solution:
Let y = \(\sqrt { x }\), x = 0.64, y = 0.8
∆x = 0.6 – 0.64 = -0.04
∵ y = \(\sqrt { x }\)
Diff. w.r.t. x

Question 10.
log₁₀ (10.1), when log₁₀ e = 0.4343
Solution:
Let y = log₁₀ x
where x = 10, ∆x = 0.1
⇒ x + ∆x = 10.1
y = log₁₀ x
= log10^e. log_e x
Diff. w.r.t. x,

Now, from equation (i)
y + ∆y = log₁₀ (x + ∆x)
⇒ log₁₀ x + ∆y = log₁₀ (x + ∆x)
⇒ log₁₀ 10 + 0.004343 = log₁₀ (10.1)
⇒ log₁₀ (10.1)= 1 + 0.004343
log₁₀ (10.1)= 1.004343
Hence, approximate value of log₁₀ (10.1) is 1.004343.

Question 11.
loge (10.02), when log_e10 = 2.3026
Solution:
Let y = log_e x
Where x = 10, ∆x = 0.02
and x + ∆x = 10.02
∵ y = log_e x
Diff. w.r.t. x,

From equation (i),
y + ∆y = log_e (x + ∆x)
log_e x + ∆y = log_e (x + ∆x)
⇒ log_e 10 + 0.002 = log_e (10.02)
⇒ log_e (10.02) = 2.3026 + 0.002
⇒ log_e (10.02)= 2.3046
Hence, approximate value of loge (10.02) is 2.3046.

Question 12.
If y = x² + 4 and x changes from 3 to 3.1, then use differential to approximate change in y.
Solution:
Given, y = x² + 4
At x = 3
y = (3)² + 4 = 9 + 4 = 13
∆x = 3.1 – 3 = 0.1
∵ y = x² + 4
Diff. w.r.t. x,

Hence, approximate value of change in y is 0.6.

Question 13.
Show that the relative error in computing the volume of a cubical box, due to an error in measuring the edge, is approximately equal to the three times the relative error in the edge.
Solution:
Let length of edge of cubical box is x and volume is V, then
V = x³
Diff. w.r.t. x,

Question 14.
The radius of a sphere shrinks from 10 cm to 9.8 cm. Find approximate decrease in its volume.
Solution:
Given
Radius of sphere = 10 cm
∆r = radius shrinks
= 9.8 – 10
= – 0.2 cm
Volume of sphere, V = \(\frac { 4 }{ 3 } \) πr³
Diff. w.r.t. r,
\(\frac { dV }{ dr } \) = \(\frac { 4 }{ 3 } \) π 3r² = 4 πr²
∵ Approximation error in calculation of volume of sphere,
dV = \(\frac { dV }{ dr } \) × (∆r)
dV= 4πr² × (∆r)
⇒ dV= 4π × (10)² × (- 0.2)
⇒ dV = – 400 × 0.2 π cm³
= -80 π cm³
Hence approximation error in volume is 80 π cm³
