If you multiply two numbers then you add their fractional errors.

If this is a textbook problem, what is the textbook? I've never heard of "the error formula" for a mathematical equation.

You apply the multiplication rule for propagating uncertainties.
Y = x5
Any ideas about what multiplying may be going on?
And if the rule for p*q is δp/p + δq/q
how might you apply that to x5?
