Question
**Problem Statement:**

Use differentials to approximate the number \(\sqrt{6.02^2 + 2.97^2 + 5.99^2}\). (Round your answer to five decimal places.)

**User Input:**

8.9967 (This answer is marked as incorrect with an "X") 

---

**Explanation:**

In this exercise, you are asked to use differentials to approximate a numerical expression. Differentials are a way to estimate small changes in functions based on their derivatives. In this context, they can be applied to approximate the square root expression provided.

When applying differentials to approximate \(\sqrt{x^2 + y^2 + z^2}\), you consider the small changes in \(x\), \(y\), and \(z\) as they slightly deviate from whole numbers (e.g., from 6.02 to 6, from 2.97 to 3, etc.).

The expression implies calculating the distance in three-dimensional space from the origin using the modified coordinates, and the use of differentials involves approximating this result efficiently, particularly when the modifications to each coordinate are small. The emphasis on approximation suggests utililzing linear approximations or first-order Taylor expansions around a point (x = 6, y = 3, z = 6). 

After determining the appropriate calculations, results are rounded to five decimal places for precision.
