Example 1 For the function y below, find dy, given x = -2 and Δx =0.1. Implicit Differentiation Linear Approximations
Example 2 Use the differential to approximate the radical expression Implicit Differentiation Linear Approximations
Example 3 Use the differential to approximate the expression Implicit Differentiation Linear Approximations
Example 4 The demand for grass seed (in thousands of pounds) at a price of p dollars is Use the differential to approximate the change in demand for a change in price from $2 to $2.10. Implicit Differentiation Linear Approximations
Example 5 Beach balls 1 foot in diameter have a thickness of 0.03 inches. How much material would be needed to make 5000 beach balls? Implicit Differentiation Linear Approximations
Example 6 A worker is cutting a square from a piece of sheet metal. The specifications call for an area that is 16 cm2 with an error of no more than 0.01 cm2. How much error could be tolerated in the length of each side to endure that the area is within tolerance? Implicit Differentiation Linear Approximations 10
