- For a conical tent of given volume, find the ratio of the height
to the radius of the base that requires the least amount
of material. Note: verify first that the surface area of a cone
is .1.
[1, Maximum and Minimum Values]
- Inside a conical tent of height
and radius of the base , a
living space is to be partioned in the shape of a
circular cylinder with a flat top of radius and height .
(a) Find the living space with the largest possible volume. (b)
Find the living space with the largest curved
surface.2. [1, Maximum and
Minimum Values]
- Find the MacLaurin series for
. Hint: you may not want
to crunch this out. Explain why not. Use a suitable trick
instead.
[1, Taylor and Maclaurin Series]
- Write out the Taylor series for
around using the
exact values of and . Now assume that
you approximate the Taylor series by its first three terms. What
is the exact expression for the error in that approximation? How
can you approximate this error at values of close to ?
Use the approximate error to find the distance from so
that the error is no more than 0.000 05 for all for which
