=   f′(x)   dx. For this    problem,    f   (x) =   V   =    πr^3 , f′(x)   =       =   4πr^2   =   100π,   and dx  =   dr  =   ±0.1.

When    these   values  are input,  the equation    is  dy  =   dV  =   100π(±0.1)  =   ±10π    cm^3.


  1. D In order to approximate the change in the surface area of the cube, use the approximation


formula:    dy  =   f′(x)   dx. For this    problem,    f(x)    =   A   =   6s^2 ,  f′(x)   =       =   12s =   120,    and dx  =   ds  =

−0.2.   When    these   values  are input,  the equation    is  dy  =   dA  =   120(−0.2)   =   −24cm^2.


  1. C We need to use implicit differentiation to find .


3 x^2 y +   x^3     +   y^3     +   3xy^2   =   0

Now,    in  order   to  isolate  ,  we  move    all of  the terms   that    do  not contain     to  the right   side    of

the equals  sign.

x^3     +   3xy^2   =   −3x^2 y −   y^3

Factor  out .

(x^3    +   3xy^2 ) =   −3x^2 y −   y^3

Divide  both    sides   by  (x^3    +   3xy^2 ) to  isolate .

= −


  1. B We can use u-substitution to evaluate the integral.


Let u   =   3x^2    and du  =   6x  dx. If  we  solve   the second  term    for x   dx, we  get

du  =   x   dx

Now we  can rewrite the integral    as
