Let y=2(x^2)+4x+3. Find the differential dy when x=4 and dx=0.3Find the differential dy when x=4 and dx=0.6

| Certified Educator

You need to differentiate the function y with respect to x such that:

`(dy)/(dx) = (2x^2+4x+3)' =gt (dy)/(dx) = 4x + 4`

You need to multiply by dx both sides such that:

`(dy) = (4x + 4)(dx) `

You need to evaluate dy at x=4 and dx = 0.3, hence you should substitute 4 for x and 0.3...
