Adding and subtracting proof

if y=x*z then δy=(zδx)2+(xδz)2
if y=x/z then δy=(δxz)2+(xδzz2)2

Algebra Proof

can not come up with one

Calculus Proof

start with the formula: dependent equals constant times independent
y=x*z
then δy=(δx(x*z)x)2+(δz(x*z)z)2=(zδx)2+(xδz)2

y=x/z
then δy=(δx(xz)x)2+(δz(xz)z)2=(δxz)2+(xδzz2)2=(δxz)2+(xδzz2)2
