The magnitude E of an electric field at a point outside a charged spherical shell is proportional to the total charge q of the shell and is inversely proportional to the square of the distance r from the point to the center of the shell. Suppose that measured values of q and r have errors of at most 0.2 % and 0.5 % , respectively. Use differentials to approximate the maximum percentage error in the calculated value of E .

With integration, one of the major concepts of calculus. Differentiation is the derivative or rate of change of a function with respect to the independent variable.
find the zeros of the function algebraically:
f(x) = 9x2 - 3x - 2
Rylee's car is stuck in the mud. Roman and Shanice come along in a truck to help pull her out. They attach
one end of a tow strap to the front of the car and the other end to the truck's trailer hitch, and the truck
starts to pull. Meanwhile, Roman and Shanice get behind the car and push. The truck generates a
horizontal force of 377 lb on the car. Roman and Shanice are pushing at a slight upward angle and generate
a force of 119 lb on the car. These forces can be represented by vectors, as shown in the figure below. The
angle between these vectors is 20.2°. Find the resultant force (the vector sum), then give its magnitude
and its direction angle from the positive x-axis.
