    1. Underflow and overflow refer to errors that occur in floating point arithmetic when a calculated result is too small or too large to be represented accurately. 2. For problem 2c, the smallest number x such that 0.25 + x = 0.25 is approximately 2.1x10^-27, which is very small compared to the value being added (0.25). 3. For problem 3, it is proven that the product of x1 and x2, where x1 and x2 are defined as functions of b, equals -1. 4. For problem 4, assuming no rounding errors in square root calculation, the solution to one of the equations becomes inexact when
