Lecture - 10 Chapter 6 Application of Derivatives

In this lecture, I am discussing method to find approximate values of roots using derivatives and questions from NCERT Exercise 6.4

Questions discussed in this lecture:

NCERT EXERCISE 6.4 (Approximations)

Question 2. Find the approximate value of f(2.01), where $f(x) = 4x^2 + 5x +2$ .

Question 3. Find the approximate value of f(5.001), where $f(x) = x^3 - 7x^2 +15$ .

Question 4. Find the approximate change in the volume V of a cube of side x metres caused by increasing the side by 1%.

Question 5. Find the approximate change in the surface area of a cube of side x metres caused by decreasing the side by 1%.

Question 6. If the radius of a sphere is measured as 7 m with an error of 0.02 m, then find the approximate error in calculating its volume.

Question 7. If the radius of a sphere is measured as 9 m with an error of 0.03 m, then find the approximate error in calculating its surface area.

Question 8. If $f(x) = 3x^2 + 15x + 5$ , then the approximate value of f (3.02) is
(A) 47.66
(B) 57.66
(C) 67.66
