Partial Derivatives & the Gradient · Challenge problem
Two resistors with resistances ohms and ohms are connected in parallel, giving total resistance . is measured with a relative error of at most and with a relative error of at most . Use differentials to find the largest possible relative error in , as a percentage. Give the number of percent as an exact fraction (without the sign).
