Problem 4. (1p) (Book exercise 1.1.3) What is the relative error in rounding 4.9997 to 5.000?

Problem 5. (a: 2p, b: 2p, c: 4p, total 8p) (Book exercises 1.1.7, 1.4.9 and 1.4.19)

  1. For small x which is the better way of evaluating (1+x)2: Directly as (1+x)2 or as (x+2)x+1? Explain your choice.
  2. How would you evaluate 1-cosx for x close to 0? Explain your approach.
  3. Find a good way to compute sinx+cosx-1 for x near 0.

Problem 6 (3x2p = 6p). Use Horners rule to evaluate

  1. P(x) = 2x4+9x2-16x+12 at x= -6
  2. P(X) = 2x4-3x3-5x2+3x+8 at x=2
  3. P(x) = 3x5-38x3+5x2-1 at x=4
