* The volume V of a right circular cone of radius r and height h is given by V= 1/3 pi r2 h. Suppose the height increases from 10cm to 10.01cm, while the radius decreases from 12cm to 11.95cm. Use a total differential to approximate the change in (delta) V in volume.
What
have
you
done?
Surely you know you can't just come on here, post a question without any comment and expect some help.
How are we supposed to know what you know, what you forgot, why you can't do this?
The total differential is given by. The quantities dr and dh are given. I'm guessing partial derivatives are new for you - can you figure out what
and
are?

thanks for giving me the clue, i'm new to this. I can now solve the entire problem.

I just need a hint to solve the problem, i admit that i am not an expert to this field so i need ideas that give me a clue to get a solution. Thanks for your criticsm.
