The volume V of a right‑circular cylinder is computed using the values d = 3.1 m for the diameter and h = 6.6 m for the height. Use the Linear Approximation to estimate the maximum error R in V if each of these values has a possible error of at most 2 % . Recall that V = π r 2 h .

6%

Step-by-step explanation:

A function f(x) can by approximated at and around a point, say x = a by,

f(x) = f(a) + f'(a)(x-a)

where,  

Here, volume V is a function of radius r and height h. In the 2 dimensional case, we have to take the partial derivatives.

Given,

or,

at r = 1.55 m and h = 6.6 m

Therefore,

Also,

Hence, maximum error is given by,

= 6%
