The radius ofa right circular cylinder is measured with an error of at most 270, and the height is measured with an erlor of at most 4%. Approxinate the marimum possible percentage error in the volume y calculated from these measurements.
Solutiort, Let r, h, and y be the true radius, height, and volume of the cylinder, Ar, A/r, and Ay be the errols in these quantities. We are given that
and let
Ar Lh l- - 0.02 and lr -h

We want to find the maximum possible value of IAV/ V l. Since the volume of the cylinder is V : rr2 h, it follows fiom (9) that
