The quantity
is expressed as
. The variables
, and
are independent parameters with fractional errors of
, and 0.5, respectively. To determine the maximum fractional error in
, we can use the following method:
Fractional error in
Substituting the fractional errors into the equation:

Calculating each term gives:

Summing these values results in:

Thus, the maximum fractional error in
is 0.7.
