Assume that \(f (x, y)\) is differentiable at \(\left(x_{0}, y_{0}\right)\) and let \(\Delta f\) denote the change in f from its value at \(\left(x_{0}, y_{0}\right)\) to its value at \(\left(x_{0}+\Delta x, y_{0}+\Delta y\right)\). 1. \(\Delta \mathrm{f} \approx\) _______ 2. The limit that guarantees the error in the approximation in part (a) is very small when both \(\Delta \mathrm{x}\) and \(\Delta \mathrm{y}\) are close to 0 is _______ .

Question
The length, width, and height of a rectangular box are measured with errors of at most \(r\)% (where \(r\) is small). Use differentials to approximate the maximum percentage error in the computed value of the volume.
Solution
The first step in solving 13.4 problem number 62 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: The length, width, and height of a rectangular box are measured with errors of at most \(r\)% (where \(r\) is small). Use differentials to approximate the maximum percentage error in the computed value of the volume.
From the textbook chapter Differentiability, Differentials, and Local Linearity you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
