The red cell volume RCV (in milliliters) for males is related to surface area S (in square meters) by the following equation.

                                                RCV = 1,486S2 – 4,106S + 4,514.

What is the surface area that minimizes the red cell volume, and what is this minimum red cell volume?

Because a cell’s volume increases along with the cube of its radius, whereas its surface area increases only with the radius’s square, a cell’s size must be tightly controlled; lest rate of solute transport through the cell’s surface membrane be inadequate to nourish the entire volume comprising the cell’s interior. One way to control cell size is to regulate the pumping of solutes, such as the pumping of sodium out of (or, for other solutes, into) the cell. Synthesizing information...

A model for the surface area of a human body is given by S = 0.1096w0.425h0.725, where w is the weight (in pounds), h is the height (in inches), and S is measured in square feet. If the errors in measurement of w and h are at most 6%, use differentials to estimate the maximum percentage error in the calculated surface area. (Round your answer to one decimal place.)
