Question

R_1

Your answer

Choose one option, then check your answer.

\pm \sqrt{\left( \frac{\partial R}{\partial R_1} \Delta R_1 \right)^2 + \left( \frac{\partial R}{\partial R_2} \Delta R_2 \right)^2}

\pm \sqrt{\left( \frac{\partial R}{\partial R_2} \Delta R_1 \right)^2 + \left( \frac{\partial R}{\partial R_1} \Delta R_2 \right)^2}

\pm \sqrt{\left\{ \frac{\partial R}{\partial R_1} \right\}^2 \Delta R_2 + \left\{ \frac{\partial R}{\partial R_2} \right\}^2 \Delta R_1}

\pm \sqrt{\left\{ \frac{\partial R}{\partial R_1} \right\}^2 \Delta R_1 + \left\{ \frac{\partial R}{\partial R_2} \right\}^2 \Delta R_2}

The solution stays hidden until you check.

R = f(R_1, R_2, \dots, R_n)
