Question

Using differentials, find the approximate values of the following:
$\sqrt{0.48}$

✓

Answer

Consider the function $\text{y}=\text{f} (\text{x})=\sqrt{\text{x}}$
Let:
$\text{x} =0.49$
$\text{x}+\triangle \text{x}=0.48$
Then,
$\triangle\text{x}=- 0.01$
For $\text{x}=0.49$
$\text{y}=\sqrt{0.49} =0.7$
Let:
$\text{dx}=\triangle \text{x}=0.01$
Now $\text{y}=(\text{x})^ {\frac{1}{2}}$
$\Rightarrow\frac {\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}=\frac{1}{2\sqrt {\text{x}}}$
$\Rightarrow\Big(\frac {\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}\Big)_{\text{x} =0.49}=\frac{1}{1.4}$
$\therefore\triangle \text{y}=\text{dy}=\frac{\text{dy}} {\text{dx}}\text{dx}=\frac{1} {1.4}\times(-0.01)=0.007143$
$\Rightarrow\triangle \text{y} =0.007143$
$\therefore\sqrt{0.48} =\text{y}+\triangle\text{y} =0.693$

A diet of two foods $F_1$ and $F_2$ contains nutrients thiamine, phosphorous and iron.
The amount of each nutrient in each of the food (in milligrams per 25gms) is given in the following table:

Nutrients	Food	$F_1$	$F_2$
Thiamine		0.25	0.10
Phosphorous		0.75	1.50
Iron		1.60	0.80

The minimum requirement of the nutrients in the diet are 1.00mg of thiamine, 7.50mg of phosphorous and 10.00mg of iron.
The cost of $F_1$ is 20 paise per 25gms while the cost of $F_2$ is 15 paise per 25gms.
