Sure, step by step it is. :)

First, what is the equation for the volume of a cylinder? Do you know?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

pir^2h @Miracrown

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im in such a rush :(((

Miracrown (miracrown):

Yep, so this one calls for differentials. We take the derivative of each term, with regard to each variable (product rule)

V = πr²h = 10πr² dV/dr = 20πr dV = 20πr dr Let dV and dr represent the change (or error) in volume and radius. In this case, dr = ±0.1 inch, r = 4 inches, and we are asked for dV, the resulting possible error in the cylinder's volume. dV = 20πr dr dV = 20π(4) ±0.1 dV = ±8π inches³

@mondona - Rushing with your work will get you nowhere.

Miracrown (miracrown):

We take the derivative of each term, with regard to each variable (product rule) and multiply by a delta for that variable V -> delta V r^2 -> 2 r delta r It sounds like there is no error in the length so we can set delta L = 0 we don't know r so we can plug in ...

@dtan5457 - Please refrain from giving *direct answers*, it hinders the learning process.

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

Sorry, I actually have to go. If you look at my work and truly want to learn it, I'm sure you will get it. And yes, that is the answer.
