Let x represent the worth of the professional basketball player's autograph a year ago. Since his autograph's worth increased by 40% now, $364 is 1.40x.

364 = 1.40x

Solving for x gives x = 260.

Thus, the autograph of the basketball player was worth only $260 last year.

Use differentials to estimate the amount of metal in a closed cylindrical can that is 26 cm high and 10 cm in diameter if the me

Answer:

The estimated amount of metal in the can is 87.96 cubic cm

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find the differential of volume from the volume of a cylinder equation given by

$V= \pi r^2 h$

Thus that way we will find the amount of metal that makes up the can.

Finding the differential.

A small change in volume is given by:

$dV =\cfrac{\partial V}{\partial h} dh + \cfrac{\partial V}{\partial r} dr$

So finding the partial derivatives we get

$dV =\pi r^2 dh + \pi 2r h dr$

$dV =\pi r^2 dh + 2\pi r h dr$

Evaluating the differential at the given information.

The height of the can is h = 26 cm, the diameter is 10 cm, which means the radius is half of it, that is r = 5 cm.

On the other hand the thickness of the side is 0.05 cm that represents dr = 0.05 cm, and the thickness on both top and bottom is 0.3 cm, thus dh = 0.3 cm +0.3 cm which give us 0.6 cm.

Replacing all those values on the differential we get

$dV =\pi 5^2 (0.6) + 2\pi (5) (26) (0.05)$
