Answer:

-1.92 cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the volume of a cube in terms of side length is ...

V = s³

Then the first-order approximation of volume for a small change ∆s in side length is ...

V(s +∆s) ≈ V(s) + V'(s)·∆s

and the change in volume is ...

∆V ≈ V(s +∆s) -V(s) = V'(s)·∆s

The derivative V'(s) is ...

V'(s) = 3s²

so the change in volume for s = 8 cm and ∆s = -0.01 cm is ...

∆V ≈ 3s²·∆s = 3(8 cm)²(-0.01 cm) = -1.92 cm³

STatiana [176]

Given:

Either has a school certificate or diploma or even both = 20 people

Having school certificates = 14

Having diplomas = 11

To find:

The number of people who have a school certificate only.

Solution:

Let A be the set of people who have school certificates and B be the set of people who have diplomas.

According to the given information, we have

$n(A)=14$

$n(B)=11$

$n(A\cup B)=20$

We know that,

$n(A\cup B)=n(A)+n(B)-n(A\cap B)$

$20=14+11-n(A\cap B)$

$20=25-n(A\cap B)$

Subtract both sides by 25.

$20-25=-n(A\cap B)$

$-5=-n(A\cap B)$

$5=n(A\cap B)$

We need to find the number of people who have a school certificate only, i.e. $n(A\cap B')$ .

$n(A\cap B')=n(A)-n(A\cap B)$

$n(A\cap B')=14-5$

$n(A\cap B')=9$

Therefore, 9 people have a school certificate only.
