The dimensions of a closed rectangular box are measured as 60 centimeters, 60 centimeters, and 90 centimeters, respectively, with the error in each measurement at most .2 centimeters. Use differentials to estimate the maximum error in calculating the surface area of the box.

The maximum error in calculating the surface area of the box is

Step-by-step explanation:

The differential df of a function is related to the differentials dx, dy, and dz by

We can use this relationship to approximate small changes in f that result from small changes in x, y and z.

Let the dimensions of the box be , , and for length, width, and height, respectively.

The surface area of a box is the total area of each side and is given by

The change in area can be written as:

From the information given the partial derivatives are evaluated at , , and , and .

The partial derivatives are

Substituting these in for ,

Thus, the maximum error in calculating the surface area of the box is

arithmetic sequence

step-by-step explanation:

given that a sequence has terms as

19, 15, 11,

this is represented on a graph

the pattern indicates that the sequence is an arithmetic sequence with i term

a=19 and common difference d =-4

any general term

thus the sequence is reduced by 4 for each successive term starting from 1 and nth term is

24-5n.

first negative term would start after 5th term

5th term =24-25< 0

from 5th term onwards the sequence would be negative.

walter needs to make at least 5 more cookies but no more than 40. 5 ≤ x ≤ 40

step-by-step explanation:

20 ≤ x + 15 ≤ 55

subtract 15 from all parts

20-15 ≤ x + 15-15 ≤ 55-15

5 ≤ x ≤ 40

this means how many more cookies he has to make

walter needs to make at least 5 more cookies, but no more than 40 cookies; 5 ≤ x ≤ 40
