Say I wanted to do a calculation with numbers that had an error attached...what would the error be on the final answer?
For example, say I was trying to work out the distance v in relation to lenses etc. by this formula:
[tex]
\frac{1}{v}=\frac{1}{u}+\frac{1}{f}
[/tex]
say u was 50cm plus or minus (cant find the symbol) 5mm
and f was 10cm plus or minus 5mm
what would the error be on the final answer?
Thanks!
