1. State the numbers of decimal places and significant figures of the following
correctly rounded numbers.
a. 5600.678 3 ds, 7 sf
b. 8.78 ×10−34
2 dp, 3 sf
c. 2.00 ×10 −3
0 dp, 3 sf
2. Determine the error bound and relative error bound for x where
a. x=45 min± 4 s
Error bound = 4s, relative error = 0.0015s
b. x=45 min± 4 %
Error bound = 1.8 min, relative error = 0.04 min
c. x=0.354∧x iscorrectly rounded ¿ 3 dp
Error bound = 0.0005, relative error = 0.00014

3. A value is calculated to be 12.9576, with a relative error bound of 0.0003. Calculate its absolute error
bound and give the value as a correctly rounded number with as many significant digits as possible.
0.00388728

4. Using exact arithmetic, compute the values of the expressions below. Assuming that all the numbers
given are correctly rounded, find absolute and relative error bounds for each term in the expressions
and for your answers. Give the answers as correctly rounded numbers.
a. 1.316 -5.713+8.010 = 3.613
b. 2.51x 1.01 = 2.5351

5. Evaluate 12.42 x 5.675 / 15.63, giving your answer as a correctly rounded number with the greatest
number of significant figures
