Question

Perform the requested operations, propagate uncertainty. Report your answer in proper scientific notation, with absolute uncertainty.

[(3.4445 x 105) (± 0.035%)] / [(43.665) (± 6.2%)]

Answer 1

[(3.4445 x 105) (± 0.035%)] / [(43.665) (± 6.2%)] .
First the division of 3.4445E5/43.665 = 7.888E3 = y
s = y*sqrt[(0.00035/3.4445E5)^2 + (0.0062/43.665)^2]
then your answer is y from above +/- s from next to last line. Post your work if you get stuck.

Answer 2

My answer was 10.1611 when I need two numbers separated by the +/-. Can you explain in depth please?

Answer 3

When I simplified this: s = y*sqrt[(0.00035/3.4445E5)^2 + (0.0062/43.665)^2].

Answer 4

when you simplified that expression what did you get. I didn't go through the math. That value, when simplified is s
then the answer you want is y +/- s
That may be what your missing. Remember to put the answer in scientifi notation.
