The equation y - ax2 is your new best friend. possibly because you desperately want to know what y is. However. you have only vague notions of what a and x are. Given the information below, which term, x or a, is the most to blame for your inability to know y as well as you want to satisfy your strange obession? a-2./-1 x-0.3 - 0.1

a. x because despite is lower fractional error, it contributes more to y because it is squared

b. impossible to know, you will never sleep again

c. a because its uncertainty is a larger fraction of its mean value

d. a because its uncertainty is the largest
