Question

When dealing with a complicated function, what is a way to simplify the process of propagation of errors?

Only consider the input with the smallest percentage error and treat the rest of the function as a constant.

Only consider the input with the smallest absolute error and treat the rest of the function as a constant.    

Only consider the input with the largest percentage error and treat the rest of the function as a constant.

Only consider the input with the largest absolute error and treat the rest of the function as a constant.

Explanation / Answer

Propogation of error is defined as the effect on the function by uncertainity in the variable used in the complicated function

If there are three or four dependent variables, then the process complication increases to a lot extent,hence the deviation in a particular variable must be catered if it is significant and if not then they can be treated as a constant since they don't affect the final outcome

Hence the correct answer will be Option D

Only consider the input with the largest absolute error and treat the rest of the function as a constant.
