Problem 1 A quick approximation to the machine precision e on a binary computer is provided by = 3+ (1/ 3 1) 1]. (a) Try the above triek in Matlab. Would you say that Matlab uses single or double precision IEEE arithmetic? (b) Briefly explain why the expression |1+(5/ 1 imation to e 1) il does not give a good approx
Expert Answer
ANSWER: a. Running above trick in MATLAB gives output, E = 2.2204e-16. According to the above result, MATLAB uses Double Precision IEEE arithmetic. Explanation: The Single Precision is a 32-bit base-2
