For the function y=\sqrt{x} the value of dy and \Delta y are as follows:

\fbox{\begin\\\ \math dy=\dfrac{1}{2}\ \text{and}\ \Delta y=0.414\\\end{minispace}}

Further explanation:

In the question it is given that the function is y=\math radical(x). The term radical represents the square root symbol \left(\sqrt{}\right).

The function is expressed as follows:

y=\sqrt{x}

The above function is also represented as follows:

f(x)=\sqrt{x}

It is given that the value of x is 1 and the value of \Delta x is 1.

Consider that for small change in the value of x as \Delta x there occur a small change in y as \Delta y.

The change in the dependent variable y is expressed as follows:

\fbox{\begin\\\ \Delta y=f(x+\Delta x)-f(x)\\\end{minispace}}

The change in the dependent variable y with respect to change in independent variable is expressed as follows:

\fbox{\begin\\\ \dfrac{\Delta y}{\Delta x}=\dfrac{f(x+\Delta x)-f(x)}{\Delta x}\\\end{minispace}}

Substitute f(x)=\sqrt{x} and f(x+\Delta x)=\sqrt{x+\Delta x}  in the above equation.

\dfrac{\Delta y}{\Delta x}=\dfrac{\sqrt{x+\Delta x}-\sqrt{x}}{\Delta x}

Rationalize the above expression by multiplying and dividing the term \sqrt{x+\Delta x}+\sqrt{x}.

\begin{aligned}\dfrac{\Delta y}{\Delta x}&=\dfrac{\sqrt{x+\Delta x}-\sqrt{x}}{\Delta x}\\&=\dfrac{\sqrt{x+\Delta x}-\sqrt{x}}{\Delta x}\times\dfrac{\sqrt{x+\Delta x}+\sqrt{x}}{\sqrt{x+\Delta x}+\sqrt{x}}\\&=\dfrac{x+\Delta x-x}{\Delta x(\sqrt{x+\Delta x}+\sqrt{x})}\\&=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{x+\Delta x}+\sqrt{x}}\end{aligned}

Substitute 1 for x and 1 for \Delta x in the above equation.

\begin{aligned}\dfrac{\Delta y}{1}&=\dfrac{1}{(\sqrt{1+1}+\sqrt{1})}\\\Delta y&=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}+1}\end{aligned}

Rationalize the above expression to obtain the value of \Delta y.

\begin{aligned}\Delta y&=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}+1}\\&=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}+1}\times\dfrac{\sqrt{2}-1}{\sqrt{2}-1}\\&=\sqrt{2}-1\\&=1.414-1\\&=0.414\end{aligned}

Therefore, the value of \Delta y is 0.414.

For an infinitesimally small change in x i.e., as \Delta x\rightarrow0 then the equation (1) is expressed as follows:

\fbox{\begin\\\ \dfrac{dy}{dx}=\lim_{x\to0}\dfrac{(f(x+\Delta x)+f(x))}{\Delta x}\\\end{minispace}}

Substitute f(x)=\sqrt{x} and f(x+\Delta x)=\sqrt{x+\Delta x}  in the above equation.

\dfrac{dy}{dx}=\lim_{x\to0}\left(\dfrac{\sqrt{x+\Delta x}-\sqrt{x}}{\Delta x}\right)

Rationalize the above expression as follows:

\begin{aligned}\dfrac{dy}{dx}&=\lim_{x\to0}\left(\dfrac{\sqrt{x+\Delta x}-\sqrt{x}}{\Delta x}\times\dfrac{\sqrt{x+\Delta x}+\sqrt{x}}{\sqrt{x+\Delta x}+\sqrt{x}}\right)\\&=\lim_{x\to0}\left(\dfrac{x+\Delta x-x}{\Delta x(\sqrt{x+\Delta x}+\sqrt{x})}\right)\\&=\lim_{x\to0}\left(\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{x+\Delta x}+\Delta x}\right)\\&=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{\Delta x}+\Delta x}\end{aligned}

Substitute 1 for \Delta x and 1 for dxin the above equation.

\begin{aligned}\dfrac{dy}{1}&=\dfrac{1}{\srqt{1}+1}\\dy&=\dfrac{1}{2}\end{aligned}

Therefore, the value of dy is 1.

Thus, for the function y=\sqrt{x} the value of dy and \Delta y are as follows:

\fbox{\begin\\\ \math dy=\dfrac{1}{2}\ \text{and}\ \Delta y=0.414\\\end{minispace}}

Base on the data you have given and with my calculation, i think the best value for Delta X and Dy is delta x = 2 and the DY = 1/2.I hope you are satisfied with my answer and feel free to ask for more if you have more clarifications and further questions

A box of cereal states that there are 99 calories in a 3/4 cup serving. What is the unit rate for calories per cup? How many cal
Otrada [13]

The unit rate for one serving would be 132 calories, and the total calories in 3 cups would be 396 calories.

Step-by-step explanation:

You solve you the unit rate by multiplying 99 calories by 4 then dividing the amount by 3 and get 132 calories. Finally, you multiple by 3 and get 396 caloriesm
