Question 1 Using differentials, find the approximate value of each of the following up to 3 places of decimal. (ii) √49.5Let y = √π‘₯ where x = 49 & β–³ x = 0.5 Since y = √π‘₯ 𝑑𝑦/𝑑π‘₯ = (𝑑(√π‘₯))/𝑑π‘₯ = 1/(2√π‘₯) Now, βˆ†π‘¦ = 𝑑𝑦/𝑑π‘₯ β–³x = 1/(2√π‘₯) (0.5) = 1/(2 Γ— √49) Γ— 0.5 = 1/(2 Γ— 7) Γ— 0.5 = 0.5/14 = 0.036 Also, βˆ†π‘¦=𝑓(π‘₯+βˆ†π‘₯)βˆ’π‘“(π‘₯) Putting values βˆ†π‘¦=√(π‘₯+βˆ†π‘₯)βˆ’βˆšπ‘₯ 0. 036=√(49+0. 5)βˆ’βˆš49 0. 036=√49.5βˆ’7 0. 036+7=√49.5 √49.5=7. 036 Hence, approximate value of √49.5 is 7.036
