Quantity $Z$ varies with $x$ and $y$ , according to given equation $Z = x^2y - xy^2$ , where $x = 3.0 \pm 0.1$ and $y = 2.0 \pm 0.1$ . The value of $Z$ is
A
$6 \pm 1.1$
B
$6 \pm 1.4$
C
$6 \pm 1$
D
$6 \pm 0.1$
Solution
$\delta \mathrm{Z}=\left|2 \mathrm{xy}-\mathrm{xy}^{2}\right| \delta \mathrm{x}+\left|\mathrm{x}^{2}-2 \mathrm{xy}\right| \delta \mathrm{y}=1.1$
$\mathrm{Z}=\mathrm{x}^{2} \mathrm{y}-\mathrm{x} \mathrm{y}^{2}=6$
So $Z=6 \pm 1$
