with: (1) Functions of several variables. (2) Evaluation of partial derivatives, and the chain rules of differentiation. (3) Manipulation of summations in algebraic context. At this mathematical https://www.lhup.edu/~dsimanek/scenario/errorman/calculus.htm level our presentation can be briefer. We can dispense with the tedious http://ltcconline.net/greenl/courses/105/Applications/difern.htm explanations and elaborations of previous chapters. 6.2 THE CHAIN RULE AND DETERMINATE ERRORS If a result R = R(x,y,z) is calculated from a number of data quantities, x, y and z, then the relation: [6-1] ∂R ∂R ∂R dR = —— dx + —— dy + —— differentials to dz ∂x ∂y ∂z
holds. This is one of the "chain rules" of calculus. This equation has as many terms as there are variables. Then, if the fractional errors are small, the differentials dR, dx, dy and dz may be replaced by the absolute errors ΔR, Δx, Δy, and Δz, and written: [6-2] ∂R ∂R ∂R ΔR ≈ —— differentials to estimate Δx + —— Δy + —— Δz ∂x ∂y ∂z Strictly this is no longer an equality, but an approximation to DR, since the higher order terms in the Taylor expansion have been neglected. So long as the errors are of the order of a few percent or less, this will not matter. This equation is now an error propagation equation. [6-3] Finally, divide equation (6.2) by R: ΔR x ∂R Δx y ∂R Δy z ∂R Δz —— = —————+——— ——+————— R R ∂x x R ∂y y R ∂z z The factors of the form Δx/x, Δy/y, etc are relative (fractional) errors. This equation shows how the errors in the result depend on the errors in the data. Eq. 6.2 and 6.3 are called the standard form error equations. They are also called determinate error equations, because they are strictly valid for determinate errors (not indeterminate errors). [We'll get to indeterminate errors soon.] The coefficients in Eq. 6.3 of the fractional errors are of the form [(x/R)(∂R/dx)]. These play the very important role oso that each side is 0.5 inches plus or minus 0.01 inches. Then its volume is V = x3 So that V ' = 3x2= 3(0.5)2 = 0.75 Dy @ (0.75)(0.01) = .0075 cu inches. So that the volume of the die is approximately in the range (0.5)3 +- 0.0075 = 0.125 0.0075 or between 0.1175 and 0.1325 cubic inches We can use differentials to approximate We let f(x) = x1/2 Since f(1 + Dx) - f(1) @ f '(1) Dx We have f(1 + Dx) @ f '(1) Dx + f(1) f(1) = 1, f '(1) = 1/2, Dx = .01 we have f(1 + Dx) @ 1/2 (.01) + 1 = 1.005 (The true value is 1.00499) Exercise: A spherical bowl is full of jellybeans. You count that there are 25 1 beans that line up from the center to the edge. Give an approximate error of the number of jelly beans in the jar for this estimate. Relative Error and Percent Error DefinitionThe relative error is defined as Error Relative Error = Totalwhile the percent error is defined by Error Percent Error = x 100% Total Example The level of sound in decibels is equal to V = 5/r3 Where r is the distance from the source to the ear. If alistener stands 10 feet 0.5 feet for optimal listening, how much variation will there be in the sound? What is the relative and percent error? Solution 15 V' = -15r-4 = = -0.0015 10,000 DV @ (-0.0015)(.5) = -0.00075 V @ 0.005 0.00075 We have a percent error of 0.00075 Percent Error @ = 15% 0.005 Back to Math 105 Home Page e-mail Questions and Suggestions
