Question : 6
Total: 11
Using differential, find the approximate value of √36.6 upto 2 decimal places.

OR
Find the slope of tangent to the curvey = 2cos2(3x) at x=‌
Ï€
6
Solution:  
√36.6 is near √36 so we will use f(x)=√x with x=36 and ∆x=0.6
Note that f′(x)=‌
1
2√x

√36.6=f(x+∆x)
≈f(x)+f′(x)∆x
=√x+‌

2√x
∆x

=√36+‌

0.6

=6.05
OR
The given curve is y=2cos2(3x) .
Differentiating both sides with respect to x , we get:
dy
dx
=−12sin‌(3x)‌cos(3x)

Now, at x=
Ï€
6
, we have:
dy
dx
=−12sin‌(

)
‌cos
(

)
=0

This means that the slope of tangent to the curve at x=

is zero.
