Increment of f(x,y)
w f ( x, y )
( x, y ) ( x x, y y )
f ( x, y ) f ( x x, y y )
increment w f ( x x, y y ) f ( x, y )
Example 2
Let w f ( x, y) 3x 2 yx.
a) Find w in terms of x and .y
3( x x) 2 ( y y )( x x) 3x 2 yx
(6 x y )x xy 3(x) 2 (x)(y )
w ( f x )x f y y 3(x) 2 (x)(y )

Example 4:
Suppose the dimensions (in inches) of a rectangular box
change from 9, 6, 4 to 9.02, 5.97 and 4.01, respectively.
(a) Use differentials to approximate the change in volume.
(b) Find the exact change in volume.
