3. How would you calculate the error of a quantity Q that depends on the variables a, b, c and d if the formula for this quantity is given by Q = (a+ b)/(c-d)? Assume that the symbols for these variables represent the mean values from measurement, and that the error in each variable is known and given by sigma with the relevant subscript for that variable.
