b. Express y as y = ((x − 5)x + 6)x + 0.55 (this is the same equation). Use again 3-digit arithmetic with chopping. Evaluate the percent relative round-off error and compare with part (a). Make the conclusion about which form of the polynomial is superior.

-0.161%

Comparing part a and b together, part b is more superior because the percent(%) error is smaller when compared to part a

Step-by-step explanation:

a) y = x³− 5x² + 6x + 0.55 at x = 1.37.

Use 3-digit arithmetic with chopping. Evaluate the percent relative round-off error.

Let's evaluate before applying the 3 digit arithmetic chopping rule

y = 1.37³ - 5 × 1.37² + 6 × 1.37 + 0.55

y = 1.956853

Let evaluate each components of the polynomial one by one

Note that: 3-digit arithmetic chopping means to approximate chop off or remove number after the 3 significant figures.

y = x³− 5x² + 6x + 0.55 at x = 1.37.

x³ = 1.37³ = 2.571353

≈ 2.57

x² = 1.37² = 1.8769

≈ 1.88

5x² = 1.87 × 5

= 9.35

x = 1.37

6x = 1.37 × 6

6x = 8.22

Evaluating the polynomial

y = 2.57 - 9.38 + 8.22 + 0.55

y = 1.98

The percent relative round-off error =

1.956853 - 1.98/1.956853 × 100

= -1.183%

b. Express y as y = ((x − 5)x + 6)x + 0.55 (this is the same equation). Use again 3-digit arithmetic with chopping. Evaluate the percent relative round-off error and compare with part (a). Make the conclusion about which form of the polynomial is superior.

y = ((x − 5)x + 6)x + 0.55

Evaluating with the 3 digit chop off rule is applied

= ((1.37 - 5)1.37 + 6)1.37 + 0.55

=( 1.8769 - 6.85) + 6) 1.37 + 0.55

= (- 4.9731 + 6 )1.37 + 0.55

= 1.0269 × 1.37 + 0.55

= 1.406853

= 1.956853.

≈ 1.96

Note in: evaluating before applying the 3 digit arithmetic chopping rule

y = 1.37³ - 5 × 1.37² + 6 × 1.37 + 0.55

y = 1.956853

The percent relative round-off error

1.956853 - 1.96/1.956853 × 100

= -0.161%

Comparing part a and b together, part b is more superior because the percent(%) error is smaller when compared to part a

==============================================

Explanations:

This is discrete because we can't have half a basketball, or any non-whole decimal value to represent the number of basketballs. We can only consider positive whole numbers {1,2,3,4,...}. A discrete set like this has gaps between items. In other words, the midpoint of 2 and 3 (the value 2.5) isn't a valid number of basketballs.
This is continuous because time values are continuous. We can take any two different markers in time, and find a midpoint between them. For example, the midpoint of 5 minutes and 17 minutes is 11 minutes since (5+17)/2 = 22/2 = 11. Continuous sets like this do not have any gaps between items. We can consider this to be densely packed.
This is the same as problem 1, so we have another discrete function. You either score a bullseye or you don't. We can't score half a bullseye. The only possible values are {1,2,3,4,...}
This is similar to problem 2. This function is continuous. Pick any two different positive real numbers to represent the amount of gallons of water. You will always be able to find a midpoint between those values (eg: we can have half a gallon) and such a measurement makes sense.

So in short, always try to ask the question: Can I pick two different values, compute the midpoint, and have that midpoint make sense? If so, then you're dealing with a continuous variable. Otherwise, the data is discrete.
