The area \(A\) of a square of side length \(s\) is \(A=s^2\text{.}\) Suppose \(s\) increases by an amount \(\Delta s=ds\text{.}\) Draw a square and then illustrate ...

The circumference of a sphere is measured to be 24 cm, with a possible error of 0.25 cm. Use the differential \(dV\) to estimate the maximum error in the calculated ...

Sometimes it is a good idea to estimate a calculation rather than work it out exactly, if you don’t need to know the exact value. In this situation, round the numbers in the question before performing ...
