Starting from $$(Δx) (Δp) \geq h/2$$ How does one derive $$a^2 (Δx)^2 + (Δp)^2 \geq a h~? $$

3$\begingroup$ Never mind I just figured it out. Start with $$ [a (Δx) - (Δp)]^2 \geq 0 $$ Then just expand: $$ a^2(Δx)^2 + (Δp)^2 - 2 a (Δx) (Δp) \geq 0 $$ $$ a^2(Δx)^2 + (Δp)^2 \geq 2 a (Δx) (Δp) \geq 2 a h/2 = ah $$ $\endgroup$– Tehol BeddictJun 21, 2020 at 15:26

$\begingroup$ It is perfectly acceptable to answer your own question! Perhaps you should write one up! $\endgroup$– marchJun 21, 2020 at 15:53
