$d E = 3 α^{2} d α e^{- β t} + α^{3} e^{- β t} (- β) d t$

$\frac{d E}{E} = \frac{3 d α}{α} + (- β) d t$

$\frac{△ E}{E} = \frac{3 △ α}{α} + β △ t$

$(%) △ T = 1.6 \times 5 = 8 %$

$% (\frac{3 △ α}{α}) = 3 \times 1.2 % = 3.6 %$

Putting values we get,

$\frac{△ E}{E} % = 3.6 + 8 \times 0.3 = 6 %$ .
