Question:
Recall that the volume of a sphere of radius r is {eq}V(r) = \frac{4\pi r^{3}}{3} {/eq}.
Find L, the linearisation of V(r) at r = 30.
L(r) = A
sphere of radius 30 centimeters is covered with a layer of paint of thickness 0.45 millimeters. Use the linearisation of V at r = 30 to estimate the volume of paint that is used. cubic centimeters of paint, help (numbers)
Linearization of a function
One of the applications of differentiation is Linearization.
Any function can be approximated as a linear function using derivative. Usually linearization is calculated at a given value of x.
If {eq}f(x) {/eq} is the given function, then it's linearization at {eq}x = a {/eq} is given by,
{eq}L(x) = f(a) + f'(a)(x-a) {/eq}
