Question
Using differentials, find the approximate values of the following:
$(80)^{\frac{1}{4}}$

Answer

Let $\text{x}=81,\\\text{ x}+ \triangle\text{x}=80$

$\triangle\text{x}=80- 81$

$=-1$

Let $\text{y}=\text{x}^ {\frac{1}{4}}$

$\frac{\text{dy}} {\text{dx}}=\frac{1}{4(81)^{\frac{3} {4}}}$

$=\frac{1}{108}$

$0.00926$

$\triangle\text{y}= \Big(\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}\Big)_ {\text{x}=81}\times(\triangle\text{x})$

$=0.00926)(-1)$

$=-0.00926$

$(80)^{\frac{1}{4}}= \text{y}+\triangle\text{y}$

$=\text{x}^{\frac{1} {4}}-0.00926$

$=(81)^{\frac{1}{4}}- 0.00926$

$3-0.0026$

$2.9974$
