6. Use a differential to estimate the following quantities. A. The change in volume of an ice cube when its side length changes from 2 in to 1.8 in due to melting. B. The change in volume of a cylinder with a radius of 2 cm whose height changes from 3 cm to 3.05 cm.

Step 1
To estimate the change in volume of an ice cube, we can use the formula for the volume of a cube, which is V = s^3, where s is the side length of the cube. Given that the initial side length is 2 in and the final side length is 1.8 in, we can calculate the Show more…

(a) Use a differential to approximate the change in the volume of a right circular cylinder if the height changes from 2 to $2.1 \mathrm{~cm}$ and the radius changes from 0.5 to $0.49 \mathrm{~cm}$. (b) Approximate the change in the surface area of the cylinder. Assume that the cylinder is closed on the top and on the bottom.

The volume of a sphere of radius r is V = 4/3 pi r^3. (a) Write a differential formula that estimates the change in volume of a sphere when the radius changes from r0 to r0 + dr. Enter r0 as r0 and dr as dr. dV = (b) Write a differential formula that estimates the change in volume of a sphere when the radius changes from 13 to 13 + dr. dV = (c) Use a differential to estimate the change in volume of a melting spherical snowball when the radius changes from 13 cm to 12.5 cm. dV = cm^3
