**In MATLAB**

One common instance where subtractive cancellation occurs involves finding the roots of a When b 4ac, the difference in the numerator can be very small and round off errors can occur. Use 5-digit arithmetic with chopping to determine the roots of x^2 - 5000.002x + 10 with the quadratic equation. Use 5-digit arithmetic with chopping to determine the roots of x^2 - 5000.002x +10 with the alternative formulation.
