Question: A box with a square base o f length x and height h has a volume V = x 2 h . Complete parts a

A box with a square base of length x and height h has a volume V=x2h. Complete parts a. through e.
a.Vx=
Vh=
b. For a box with h=1.8m, use a linear approximation to estimate the change in volume ifx increases from x=0.5mtox=0.52m.
The change in volume ifx increases from x=0.5mtox=0.52mis
(Simplify your answer.)
c. For a box with x=0.5m, use a linear approximation to estimate the change in volume ifh decreases from h=1.5mtoh=1.46m.
The change in volume ifh decreases from h=1.5mtoh=1.46mis
(Simplify your answer.)
d. For a fixed height, does a10% change inx always produce (approximately)a10% change inV?
No
Yes
e. For a fixed base length, does a10% change inh always produce (approximately)a10% change inV?
Yes
No
