Uncertainty question: partial derivatives with data collected

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I've collected data: ranges and thetas and the equation is a square rooted rational function.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\sqrt{\frac{a}{b}}=\frac{\sqrt{a}}{\sqrt{b}}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

only when a and b will always be positive

OpenStudy (anonymous):

should i take the derivative knowing that the theta function will always be positive and the range is going to be positive?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What do you want to get by taking derivative?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

partials i need partials for the propagation of uncertainty

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You want to find the uncertainty of what function?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, you just need to take partial derivative for x and R,

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If that so, need to take for gravity too.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, they are Sources of uncertainty that will propagate to the function.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hmm, when partial derivating with respect to g, we consider everything else constant. \[\frac{\partial f}{\partial g}=\sqrt{\frac{-R}{\sin2x}}\frac{1}{2\sqrt{g}}\]
