Estimate the maximum possible error in computing the volume

Reference no: EM131011628

(a) The edge of a cube was measured to be 6 cm, with a maximum possible error of 0.5 cm. Use a differential to estimate the maximum possible error in computing the volume of the cube.

(b) Using a calculator, find the actual error in measuring volume if the radius was really 6.5 cm instead of 6 cm, and find the actual error if the radius was actually 5.5 cm instead of 6 cm. Compare these errors to the answer you got using differentials.
