Need help propagating the uncertainty of Es = Ex ×(x+xo/xs+xo) . I understand all of the rules and can do it for a formula such as vo+ at. But I am having trouble with the (A+B)(/A+C)

Okay, so I must assume that xo/xs is a term by itself then, as in the first of my suggested choices. Parentheses are important for removing ambiguity in order of operations when dealing with ASCII-rendered equations.beny748 said:Thank you for your reply.
Es = Ex (x+xo/xs+xo).
I don't see an addition divided by an addition in your expression, if it really isThe first method you described is more towards what I am going for. The example I gave of (A+B/C+B) was a mistake.
I have done complex propagation such as this one, but I am having trouble with the addition divided by addition part. I am looking for a propagation that eventually simplifies to a simple uncertainty.
Okaybeny748 said:Yes I mean the second expression.
I wrote it as a LaTeX expression. Physics Forums has built-in LaTeX interpretation. If you use the "Quote" button to quote the post as if to reply to it, you'll see the LateX commands as I wrote them. Have a look here for an introduction to using it.beny748 said:How were you able to produce that using these functions in the keyboard? or did you import that from online? I was unable to produce that on here, although I see more parentheses as being more useful.
beny748 said:Well, this is to be calculated for 3 sets in total. However, it is for a lab report. And in this report I have to show the propagation of this uncertainty and the steps involved.
Es
(σ{x})2+(σ{Xo})2 / (σ{Xs})2 + (σ{Xo})2

Lets see if this attachment works, if so that is an example of what I need to do.

The purpose of propagating uncertainty for no-load voltage is to estimate the potential error or variation in the measured voltage value due to factors such as measurement equipment, human error, or environmental conditions.
Uncertainty is propagated for no-load voltage using mathematical calculations, specifically the law of propagation of uncertainty. This method takes into account the uncertainties of each variable in the measurement equation to determine the overall uncertainty of the final measurement.
There are several factors that can contribute to the uncertainty of no-load voltage measurements, such as the accuracy and precision of the measuring equipment, the skill and technique of the person conducting the measurement, and any external factors that may affect the measurement, such as temperature or electromagnetic interference.
Uncertainty in no-load voltage measurements can be reduced by using more precise measuring equipment, ensuring proper calibration of equipment, using standardized measurement techniques, and controlling external factors that may affect the measurement. It is also important to repeat measurements multiple times to obtain an average value and reduce the impact of random errors.
Considering uncertainty in no-load voltage measurements is important because it provides a more accurate and reliable representation of the true value. It also allows for a better understanding of the limitations of the measurement and helps in making informed decisions based on the results. Additionally, many industries and fields of research have specific standards and guidelines for uncertainty propagation to ensure the accuracy and traceability of measurements.
