Question
Question 1
The limit of accuracy on computers is limited by the computer round-off error. If we assume our approximation to first order derivatives is first order accurate, and the computer round
off error is ɛ=10-16, estimate what the error of a discrete derivative approximation df/dx is when Ax = 10-5.
Give your answer as the power of 10; for example if the result is 102 your answer should be 2, if the result is 10-3 then your answer should be -3. Give your answer to the nearest
integer.
