Consider the following equation. On the right-hand side, there is a summation operator and within the summation operator the real number (1/n) is added n times. If there was no roundoff error in the addition operation, the sum would be equal to the number 1. Hence, error would be zero. However, there is going to be roundoff error. n - |- (2/7) ( 1- 1/n Err = Write a Matlab script that carries out the operation above for an array of values given below and plot n vs. Err. n should be in x axis. Both x and y axis must be in logarithmic scale. n = [1e4, 1e5, 1e6, 1e7, 1e8] Consider the following equation.
