Logarithmic differentials Let f be a differentiable function of one or more variables that is positive on its domain.
a. Show that
b. Use part (a) to explain the statement that the absolute change in ln f is approximately equal to the relative change in f.
c. Let f(x, y) = xy, note that ln f = ln x + ln y, and show that relative changes add: that is, df/f = dx/x + dy/y.
d. Let f(x, y) = x/y, note that ln f = ln x = ln y, and show that relative changes subtract; that is df /f = dx/x – dy/y.
e. Show that in a product of n numbers, f = x1x2…xn, the relative change in f is approximately equal to the sum of the relative changes in the variables.

- The formula for the amount A in an investmentaccount with a nominal interest rate r at any timet is given by A(t)=a(e)rt, where a is the amount ofprincipal initially deposited into an account thatcompounds continuously. Prove that the percentageof interest earned to principal at any time t can becalculated with the formula I(t)=ert1.arrow_forwardRepeat the previous exercise to find the formula forthe APY of an account that compounds daily. Usethe results from this and the previous exercise todevelop a function I(n)for the APY of any accountthat compounds n times per year.arrow_forwardDefine Newton’s Law of Cooling. Then name at least three real-world situations where Newton’s Law of Cooling would be applied.arrow_forward
- WaterWater flows into a tank, and a certain part of it drains out through a valve. The volume v in cubic feet of water in the tank at time t satisfies the equation dvdt=5(v/3). If the process continues for a long time, how much water will be in the tank?arrow_forwardFind the constant of proportionality. y is directly proportional to x. If x=30, then y=15.arrow_forward
