Question
Consider the function
1- cos(x)
f (x) =
(a) (T) Evaluate lim,0 f(x) = L.
(b) (T) As x 0, at what rate does f(x) → L?
(c) Compute f(x) as written on a computer for values of x = 10-1, 10–2, ., 10-10. Com-
ment on your results.
(d) Suppose that we are able to represent floating point numbers with N decimal digits of
accuracy. Around what value of r will the evaluation of f(x) produce very large relative
errors when |x| < r?
(e) Rearrange the expression for f(x) to a mathematically equivalent expression so that the
this new function evaluates accurately for very small values of x. Verify the success of
your rearrangement computationally. Are there values of x where you expect accuracy
problems with your rearrangement?
