Uncertainty Flashcards
1
Q
Uncertainty of Multiplication by a Constant
A
N(A ± a) = NA ± Na
2
Q
Uncertainty of the Addition of Two Uncertain Quantities
A
(A ± a) + (B ± b) = (A + B) ± sqrt(a^2 + b^2)
3
Q
Uncertainty of the Subtraction of Two Uncertain Quantities
A
(A ± a) - (B ± b) = (A - B) ± sqrt(a^2 + b^2)
4
Q
Uncertainty of the Product of Two Uncertain Quantities
A
(A ± a) x (B ± b) = (AB) ± (AB)sqrt((a/A)^2 + (b/B)^2)
5
Q
Uncertainty of the Quotient of Two Uncertain Quantities
A
(A ± a) / (B ± b) = (A/B) ± (A/B) sqrt((a/A)^2 + (b/B)^2)
6
Q
Uncertainty of Raising to a Power
A
(A ± a)^m = A^m ± maA^(m-1)
