Questions: 17 – 18

If the measurement errors in all the independent quantities are known, then it is possible to determine the error in any  dependent quantity. This is done by the use of series expansion and truncating the expansion at the first power of  the error. For example, consider the relation z = x/y. If the errors in x, y and z are Δx, Δy and Δz, respectively, then z ± Δz = (x±Δx)/(y±Δy) =x/y (1 ± (Δx/x)) (1 ± (Δy/y))⁻¹.

The series expansion for (1 ± Δy/y)⁻¹, to first power in Δy/y, is 1 ∓ (Δy/y). The  relative errors in independent variables are always added. So the error in z will be  Δz = z (Δx/x + Δy/y). The above derivation makes the assumption that Δx/x ≪1, Δy/y ≪1. Therefore, the higher powers of these quantities are neglected.
