In the Problem 5 of Homework #1, for the given coefficients a= 1,b=−1e5 and c= 1, the root formula gives two real roots r1= (−b−√∆)/(2a) = 1.0000003385357559e−05, r2= (−b+√∆)/(2a) = 9.9999999989999997e+ 04 If we plug these two roots back into the quadratic function, we obtain f(r1) =−3.3844e−07, f(r2) = 0 We see that root r1 is not correct up to the round-off error. (a) Explain what the problem is with the formula for evaluatingr1numerically? (b) Come up with a way...
