How long does it take her to do a lawn? If it took her 5 hours for 1 lawn then it would be $840 for twelve lawns.

She is getting paid $14 an hour.

I think there's something missing but I will elaborate as much as I can.

Let's find out how much she's paid an hour.

70 ÷ 5 = 14

Lindsey makes $14 an hour.

We must know how much she makes in 12 hours.

14 × 12 = 168

Lindsey earns $168.

The circumference of a sphere was measured to be 80 cm with a possible error of 0.5 cm. A) Use differentials to estimate the max

Answer:

A) The maximum error in the calculated surface area: $25cm^2$

Relative error: $0.013$

B) The maximum error in the calculated volume: $162cm^2$

Relative error: $0.019$

Step-by-step explanation:

A) The formula for the surface area is:

$A=4\pi r^2$

The measured value is the circumference which is equal to:

$C=2\pi r$

then the radius is:

$r=\frac{C}{2\pi}$

Substituting in the formula of the surface:

$A=4\pi(\frac{C}{2\pi})^2\\A=4\pi(\frac{C^2}{4\pi^2})\\A=\frac{C^2}{\pi}$

Using the formula to calculate the error:

$dy=f'(x)dx$

Where $x$ is the variable measured and $y$ is a function of $x$ ( $y=f(x)$ ).

$dA=f'(C)dC\\dA=\frac{2C^{(2-1)}}{\pi}dC\\dA=\frac{2C}{\pi}dC$

We have C=80cm and dC=0.5cm

$dA=\frac{2C}{\pi}dC\\dA=\frac{2(80)}{\pi}(0.5)\\dA=\frac{160}{\pi}(0.5)\\dA=50.9296(0.5)\\dA=25.4648\approx25cm^2$

The relative error is the maximum error divide by the total area. The total area is: $A=\frac{C^2}{\pi}=\frac{(80)^2}{\pi}=\frac{6400}{\pi}=2037.1833cm^2$

$\frac{dA}{A}=\frac{25.4648}{2037.1833} =0.0125\approx0.013$

B) The formula for the volume is:

$V=\frac{4}{3} \pi r^3$

Using $r=\frac{C}{2\pi}$

$V=\frac{4}{3} \pi r^3\\V=\frac{4}{3} \pi (\frac{C}{2\pi})^3\\V=\frac{4}{3} \pi (\frac{C^3}{8\pi^3})\\V=\frac{1}{3}(\frac{C^3}{2\pi^2})\\V=\frac{C^3}{6\pi^2}$

The maximum error is:

$dV=\frac{3C^{3-1}}{6\pi^2}dC\\dV=\frac{C^{2}}{2\pi^2}dC\\dV=\frac{(80)^{2}}{2\pi^2}(0.5)\\dV=\frac{6400}{2\pi^2}(0.5)\\dV=\frac{6400}{2\pi^2}(0.5)\\dV=(324.2278)(0.5)\\dV=162.1139\approx162cm^2$
