4. Show that f (x, y) = xexy is differentiable at (1,0) and find its linearization there. Then use it
to approximate f (1.1, −0.1).

5. The wind-chill index is modeled by the function


W = 13.12 + 0.6215T − 11.37v 0.16 + 0.3965T v 0.16 ,
where T is the temperature (in centigrade) and v is the wind speed (in km/hr). The wind speed
is measured as 26km/hr with a possible error of ±2km/hr, and the temperature is measured as
−11o C with a possible error of ±1o C. Use differentials to estimate the maximum errors in the
calculated value of W due to the measurement errors in T and v.

6. The base radius and height of a right circular cone are measured as 10cm and 25cm, respec-
tively, with a possible error in measurement of as much as 0.1cm in each. Use differentials to
estimate the maximum error in the calculated volume of the cone.
