Question

True or false: A problem is ill-conditioned if its solution is highly sensitive to small changes in the problem data.

Answer 1

Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

True, a problem is ill-conditioned if its solution is highly sensitive to small changes in the problem data.

However, higher-precision arithmetic will make an ill-conditioned problem better conditioned.

In an ill-conditioned problem, for a small change in the independent variable, there is a large change in the dependent variable.
