Solution.
(i) \(\sqrt{25.3}\)
Consider y = √x. Let x = 25 and ∆x = 0.3.
Then ∆y = \(\sqrt{x+\Delta x}-\sqrt{x}\)

= \(\sqrt{25.3}-\sqrt{25}=\sqrt{25.3}-5\)

⇒ √253 = ∆y + 5
Now, dy is approximately equal to ∆y and is given by
dy = \(\left(\frac{d y}{d x}\right)\) ∆x

= \(\frac{1}{2 \sqrt{x}}\) (0.3) = 0.03
Hence, the approximate value of √25.3 is 0.03 + 5 = 5.03.

(ii) √49.5
Consider y = √x.
Let x = 49 and ∆x = 0.5
Then, ∆y = \(\sqrt{x+\Delta x}-\sqrt{x}\)
= \(\sqrt{49.5}-\sqrt{49}=\sqrt{49.5}-7\)
⇒ √49.5 = 7 + ∆y
Now, dy is approximately equal to ∆y and is given by
dy = \(\left(\frac{d y}{d x}\right) \Delta x=\frac{1}{2 \sqrt{x}}(0.5)\) [as y = √x]

= \(\frac{1}{2 \sqrt{49}}\) (0.5)

= \(\frac{1}{14}\) (0.5) = 7.035.

(iii) √0.6
Consider y = √x.
Let x = 1 and ∆x = – 0.4.
Then, ∆y = \(\sqrt{x+\Delta x}-\sqrt{x}=\sqrt{0.6}-1\)
⇒ √0.6 = 1 + ∆y
Now, dy is approximately equal to ∆y and is given by
dy = (\(\frac{d y}{d x}\)) ∆x = \(\frac{1}{2 \sqrt{x}}\) (∆x) [as y = √x]
= \(\frac{1}{2}\) (- 0.4) = – 0.2
Hence, the approximate value of √0.6 is 1 + (- 0.2) = 1 – 0.2 = 0.8.

(iv) \((0.009)^{\frac{1}{3}}\)
Consider y = \((x)^{\frac{1}{3}}\).
Let x = 0.008 and ∆x = 0.001.
Then, ∆y = (x + ∆x)\(\frac{1}{3}\) – (x)\(\frac{1}{3}\)
= (0.009)\(\frac{1}{3}\) – (0.008)\(\frac{1}{3}\)
= (0.009)\(\frac{1}{3}\) – 0.2
⇒ (0.009)\(\frac{1}{3}\) = 0.2 + ∆Y
Now, dy is approximately equal ∆y and is given by
dy = \(\frac{d y}{d x}\) ∆x

= \(\frac{1}{3(x)^{\frac{2}{3}}}\) ∆x [as y = x\(\frac{1}{3}\)]

= \(\frac{1}{3 \times 0.04}(0.001)=\frac{0.001}{0.12}\) = 0.008

= (0.999)\(\frac{1}{10}\) – 1
= (0.999)\(\frac{1}{10}\)
=1 + ∆y
Now, dy is approximately equal to ∆y and is given by

dy = \(\frac{d y}{d x}\) ∆x [as y = x\(\frac{1}{10}\)]

= \(\frac{1}{10(x)^{\frac{9}{10}}}\) (∆x)

= \(\frac{1}{10}\) (- 0.001)

Then, ∆y = (x + ∆x)\(\frac{1}{4}\) – (x)\(\frac{1}{4}\)
= (15)\(\frac{1}{4}\) – (16)\(\frac{1}{4}\)
= (15)\(\frac{1}{4}\) – 2
⇒ (15)\(\frac{1}{4}\) = 2 + ∆y
Now, dy is approximately equal to ∆y and is given by
dy = \(\frac{d y}{d x}\) ∆x [as y = x\(\frac{1}{4}\)]

= \(\frac{1}{4(16)^{\frac{3}{4}}}(-1)=\frac{-1}{4 \times 8}=\frac{-1}{32}\)

= – 0.03125
Hence, the approximate value of \((15)^{\frac{1}{4}}\) is 2 + (- 0.03125) = 1.96875.

= (26)\(\frac{1}{3}\) – 3
⇒ (26)\(\frac{1}{3}\) = 3 + ∆y
Now, dy is approximately equal to ∆y and is given by
dy = \(\frac{d y}{d x}\) ∆x [as y = x\(\frac{1}{3}\)]

= \(\frac{1}{3(x)^{\frac{2}{3}}}\) (∆x)

= \(\frac{1}{3(27)^{\frac{2}{3}}}(-1)=\frac{-1}{27}\)

Then, ∆y = (x + ∆x)\(\frac{1}{4}\) – (x)\(\frac{1}{4}\)
= (255)\(\frac{1}{4}\) – (256)\(\frac{1}{4}\)
= (255)\(\frac{1}{4}\) – 4
⇒ (255)\(\frac{1}{4}\) = 4 + ∆y
Now, dy is approximately equal to zy and is given by
dy = \(\frac{d y}{d x}\) ∆x [as y = x\(\frac{1}{4}\)]

= \(\frac{1}{4(x)^{\frac{3}{4}}}(\Delta x)\)

= \(\frac{1}{4(256)^{\frac{3}{4}}}(-1)=\frac{-1}{4 \times 4^{3}}\)

= – 0.0039.
Hence, the approximate value of (255)\(\frac{1}{4}\) is 4 + (- 00039) = 3.9961.

dy = \(\frac{d y}{d x}\) ∆x [as y = x\(\frac{1}{4}\)]

= \(\frac{1}{4(x)^{\frac{3}{4}}}\) (∆x)

= \(\frac{1}{4(81)^{\frac{3}{4}}}(1)=\frac{1}{4(3)^{3}}=\frac{1}{108}\)

dy = \(\left(\frac{d y}{d x}\right) \Delta x=\frac{1}{2 \sqrt{x}}(\Delta x)\) [as y = x\(\frac{1}{4}\)]

= \(\frac{1}{2 \times 20}(1)=\frac{1}{40}\)

= (0.0037)\(\frac{1}{2}\) – 0.06
(0.0037)\(\frac{1}{2}\) = 0.06 + ∆y
Now, dy is approximately equal to ∆y and is given by

= \(\frac{1}{2 \sqrt{x}}(\Delta x)\)

= \(\frac{1}{2 \times 0.06}(0.0001)\)

= \(\frac{0.0001}{0.12}\) = 0.00083

Let x = 3 and ∆x = 0.02. Then, we have
f(3.02) = f(x + ∆x)
= 3(x + ∆x)2 + 15(x + ∆x) + 5
Now, ∆y = f(x + ∆x) – f(x)
⇒ f(x + ∆x) = f(x) + ∆y
≈ f(x) + f'(x)∆x [as dx = ∆x]
⇒ f(3.02) = (3x2 + 15x + 5) + (6x + 15) ∆x
= [3(3)2 +15(3) + 5] + [6(3) +15] (0.02) [as x = 3, ∆x = 0.02]
= (27 + 45 + 5) + (18 +15) (0.02)
= 77 + (33) (0.02) = 77 + 0.66 = 77.66
Hence, the approximate value of f(3.02) is 77.66.

= (3x2) (0.03 x) [as 3% of x = 0.03x]
= 0.09 x3 m3.
