If Z = A 2 B 3 C 4 , then the relative error in Z will be
Options
- A2 Δ A A + 3 Δ B B + 4 Δ C C
- BΔ A A + Δ B B + Δ C C
- C2 Δ A A + 3 Δ B B - 4 Δ C C
- DΔ A A + Δ B B - Δ C C
Correct answer
A. 2 Δ A A + 3 Δ B B + 4 Δ C C
Step-by-step solution
Given: Z = A 2 B 3 C 4 When quantities are multiplied or divided, the relative error in the result is the sum of the relative errors in the multipliers. So, ∆ Z Z = ∆ A A + ∆ A A + ∆ B B + ∆ B B + ∆ B B + ∆ C C + ∆ C C + ∆ C C + ∆ C C Thus, relative error is ∆ Z Z = 2 × ∆ A A + 3 × ∆ B B + 4 × ∆ C C
