Answer:

0.012

Step-by-step explanation:

Linear approximation says that,

f(x) \approx f(x_o)+f'(x_o)(x-x_o)

For a cube the surface area is 6x^2.

So the side is 1.0 inch in, the surface area is =6\times1^2 = 6 square inches.  

In Linear approximation means you ignore the term x_o^2 , if x_o is a small number, because then x_o^2 will be a very smalle number and that does not contribute much to the error.  

So the surface area is approximately,

6x^2=6x_o^2+12x_o(x-x_o)

So here, x=1.001, x_o=0.001

The error in the area is approximately,

12 \times 0.001=0.012

So the error is 0.012.
