Suppose the side length of a cube is measured to be 5cm with an accuracy of 0.1cm Use differentials to estimate the error in the computer volume of the cube. Compute the volume of the cube if the side length is 4.9cm to compare the estimated error with the actual potential error. Compute the volume of the cube if the side length is 5.1cm to compare it estimated error with the actual potential error.
