Calculus 1: Linear Approximation and Differentials

Let f(x)=ln(x)f(x) = \ln{(x)} Find the linearization of ff at 11 and use it to evaluate ln(0.9)\ln{(0.9)}

Suppose that a spherical container has a radius of 1±0.001m1 \pm 0.001 m. Approximate the corresponding possible error in the calculated volume.

Find the linearization of cscx\csc{x} at x=π4x = \frac{\pi}{4} and use it to approximate csc1\csc{1}. Also find the error and percentage error.

Find the local linearization of ln(x)\ln{(x)} at x=e2x = e^2 and use it to approximate ln(7.4)\ln{(7.4)}. Also find the error and percentage error.
