Question

Using differentials, find the approximate values of the following:
$\sqrt{401}$

✓

Answer

Consider the function $\text{y}=\text{f}(\text{x})=\sqrt{\text{x}}$
Let:
x = 400
$\text{x}+\triangle\text{x}=401$
Then,
$\triangle\text{x}=1$
For x = 400
$\text{y}=\sqrt{400}=20$
Let:
$\text{dx}=\triangle\text{x}=1$
Now, $\text{y}=\sqrt{\text{x}}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}=\frac{1}{2\sqrt{\text{x}}}$
$\Rightarrow\Big(\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}\Big)_{\text{x}=400}=\frac{1}{40}$
$\therefore\triangle\text{y}=\text{dy}=\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}\text{dx}=\frac{1}{40}\times1=\frac{1}{40}$
$\Rightarrow\triangle\text{y}=\frac{1}{40}=0.025$
$\therefore\sqrt{401}=\text{y}=\triangle\text{y}=20.025$

A dealer in a rural area wishes to purchase some sewing machines. He has only to invest and has space for at most 20 items. An electronic machine costs him ₹ 3,600 and a manually operated machine costs ₹ 2,400. He can sell an electronic machine at a profit of ₹ 220 and a manually operated machine at a profit of ₹ 180. Assuming that he can sell all the machines that he buys, how should he invest his money in order to maximise his profit? Make it as a LPP and solve it graphically.
