Find the relative error in Z, if Z=A^(4)...

Find the relative error in Z, if `Z=A^(4)B^(1//3)//CD^(3//2)` and the percentage error in the measurements of A,B,C and D are 4%,2%,3% and 1% respectively.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The relative error in Z is `Delta Z//Z= 4(Delta A//A)+(1//3) (Delta B//B)+( Delta C//C)+(3//2) (Delta D//D)`.
