Recap…
Example:- If values of 𝑎 and 𝑏 are 𝑎 = 30 ± 0.3 𝑚 , 𝑏 = 20 ± 0.2 𝑚,
then find the following :
(i) 𝑥 = 𝑎 + 𝑏
(ii) 𝑦 = 𝑎 – 𝑏
Example:- If values of 𝑎 and 𝑏 are 𝑎 = 30 ± 0.3 𝑚 , 𝑏 = 20 ± 0.2 𝑚,
then find the following :
(iii) 𝑧 = 𝑎. 𝑏
𝑎
(iv) 𝑤 =
𝑏
Example:- If values of 𝑎 and 𝑏 are 𝑎 = 5 ± 0.1 𝑚 , 𝑏 = 2 ± 0.2 𝑚, and
𝑥 = 3𝑎 − 2𝑏, then find the value of x with error limits.
Example:- If values of 𝑎 and 𝑏 are 𝑎 = 5 ± 0.1 𝑚 , 𝑏 = 2 ± 0.2 𝑚, and
𝑥 = 3𝑎𝑏 2 ,Type equation here. then find the value of x with error
limits.
