By using y^3 = x and small error theory, evaluate the cube root of 8.2
 
Um... "small error theory"...? Is that anything like "differentials"...?

Thank you.

okay...

y^3 = x
3y^2dy/dx = 1
thus
where do i go from here to evaluate the cube root of 8.2?
 
Are you talking differentials, as Stapel said?.

I've not heard it called small number theory.


Approximate \(\displaystyle \L\\f(x)=\sqrt[3]{8.2}\)

\(\displaystyle \L\\f(x)=\sqrt[3]{x}\)

\(\displaystyle \L\\f'(x)=\frac{1}{3x^{\frac{2}{3}}\)

\(\displaystyle \L\\f(x+{\Delta}x)=f(x)+f'(x){\Delta}x\)

\(\displaystyle \L\\x=8 \;\ and \;\ x+{\Delta}x=8.2\)

Therefore, \(\displaystyle \L\\{\Delta}x=0.2\)

\(\displaystyle \L\\\sqrt[3]{8}+\frac{1}{3(8)^{\frac{2}{3}}}(0.2)\)
