    Post Relative error help

    The quantity T is defined by the formula

    T = (3a2b3/2)/c4

    If the relative errors in a, b and c are -0.015, 0.02 and 0.0025, respectively, find

    (i) the relative error in T;
    (ii) the maximum relative error in T.

    I'm a bit confused if anyone would care to explain I would be grateful.
