Given Solution: `a f(x) = sqrt(25-x^2) f' (x) = -x / sqrt(25-x^2) so f ' (3) = -3 / sqrt(25 - 3^2) = -3/sqrt(16) f ' (3) = -3/4 so that the tangent line has equation y - 4 = -3/4(x - 3) y - 4 = -3/4 x + 9/4 y = -3/4 x + 25/4. Using `dx = .01 we get x + `dx = 3.01. The tangent-line approximation is thus y = -3/4 * 3.01 + 6.25 = 3.9925. The actual function value is sqrt(25-3.01^2) = 3.992480432. The difference between the actual and approximate values is .00002, approx. A similar difference is found approximating the function for `dx = -.01, i.e., at 2.999. We see that for this short interval `dx the tangent-line approximation is very good, predicting the change in the y value (approximately .00750) accurate to 5 significant figures. COMMON ERROR: Students often round off to 3.99, or even 4.0, which doesn't show any discrepancy between the tangent-line approximation and the accurate value. Taken to enough decimal places the values of the function and the tangent-line approximation do not coincide; this must be the case because the function isn't linear, whereas the tangent line approximation is. You should in general use enough significant figures to show the difference between two approximations. “ &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Self-critique (if necessary): ------------------------------------------------ Self-critique Rating: ********************************************* Question: `q **** Query 5a 7th edition 3.8.38 drug concentration C = 3t / (27+t^3) **** When t changes from t = 1 to t = 1.5 what is the approximate change in C, as calculated by a differential approximation?

Given Solution: `a By the Quotient Rule we have C' = ((3) (27 + t^3) - (3t^2)(3t))/ (27 + t^3)^2, or C' = (81 - 6t^3) / (27 + t^3)^2. The differential is therefore dC =( (81 - 6t^3) / (27 + t^3)^2) dx. Evaluating for t = 1 and `dt = .5 we get dC = ((81 - 6(1)^3) / (27 + (1)^3)^2) * (.5) dC = (75 / 784) (.5) dC = .0478 mg/ml ** &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Self-critique (if necessary): ------------------------------------------------ Self-critique Rating: " Self-critique (if necessary): ------------------------------------------------ Self-critique rating: " Self-critique (if necessary): ------------------------------------------------ Self-critique rating: #*&!
