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=
π
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
2x

36.6=f(x+x)
f(x)+f(x)x
=x+
1
2x
x

=36+
1
236
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=
π
6
, we have:
dy
dx
=12sin(
π
2
)
cos
(
π
2
)
=0

This means that the slope of tangent to the curve at x=
π
6
is zero.
