(X ± ∆X)^2 = (X)^2 ± 2 X∆X We can expand (X ± ∆X)^2 = X^2 ± 2 X∆X + ∆X^2 ∆X^2 is too small, therefore we can ignore the term ∆X^2 (X ± ∆X)^2 = X^2 ± 2 X∆X (This is same as the equation in page 7 of the lab manual) ∆(d^2 ) = 2d∆d ∆A = π 4 2 d∆d ∆A = π 2 d∆d A = πd

Value of the gradient (m ± ∆m) and intercept (c ± ∆c) are at the bottom of the graph (next page). This graph is plotted by using LineFit. In addition, LineFit also calculate the gradient and intercept (with errors) for the best fit. This can not be done by using Excel. However Excel will not calculate the errors in gradient or intercept. These values can be calculated using the equations on page 20 of the lab manual!
