Solve the problem.For functions of the form y = axn, show that the relative uncertainty 
in the dependent variable y is always 
times the relative uncertainty 
in the independent variable x.
What will be an ideal response?
dy = naxn-1 dx, therefore 
= 
= n
.
Therefore, 
= 
. Thus, the relative uncertainty in the dependent variable y is always 
times the relative uncertainty in the independent variable x.
