    This document provides instructions for Lab 0 on numerical analysis. It outlines 3 key points: 1. Students should create a PDF report with solutions to the practice problems and submit all files in a compressed folder to Moodle. 2. The purposes of the lab are to apply floating point formatting and rounding arithmetic, and implement these concepts in Matlab. 3. The practice problems involve: calculating sums using 3-digit rounding, deriving an alternative formula for the quadratic equation, and creating Matlab functions to determine floating point formatting and accurately compute quadratic roots.

    Lab 0. Preliminary

    1 Instructions
    ˆ Make a pdf report including the solution to each point of the practice with name
    Lab0 name lastname.pdf.
    ˆ Send the report and all created files in a rar or zip file with name Lab0 name lastname.rar in
    the Moodle.

    ˆ You are allowed to use internet, notes, and .m files that you have created before.

    2 Purposes
    ˆ To apply the floating point format and rounding arithmetic.

    ˆ To implement the floating point format and rounding arithmetic in Matlab.

    3 Practice
    3.1 Applying
    ˆ (0.5 points) Use three-digit rounding arithmetic to compute the following sums:
    P6 1
    a) k=1 3k
    P6 1
    b) k=1 37−k

    ˆ (1.0 points) Improving the Quadratic Formula. Assume that a 6= 0 and b2 − 4ac > 0 and
    consider the equation ax2 + bx + c = 0. The roots can be computed with the quadratic
    formulas √ √
    −b + b2 − 4ac −b − b2 − 4ac
    x1 = , x2 = . (1)
    2a 2a
    Show that these roots can be calculated with the equivalent formulas
    −2c −2c
    x1 = √ , x2 = √ . (2)
    2
    b + b − 4ac b − b2 − 4ac
    √
    Hint. Rationalize the numerators in (1). Remark. In the cases when |b| ≈ b2 − 4ac, one
    must proceed with caution to avoid loss of precision due to a catastrophic cancellation. If
    b > 0, then x1 should be computed with formula (2), and x2 should be computed using (1).
    However, if b < 0, then x1 should be computed using (1), and x2 should be computed using
    (2).

    1
    3.2 Implementing
    ˆ (2.0 points) Create a Matlab function called floating point function name lastname() to de-
    termine the floating point format to stored decimal numbers in a computer with 32 bits of
    precision. Use the following numbers to test your function:

    a) 1612.07812510
    b) 6317.913610
    c) −962.015310

    ˆ (1.5 points) Use the results obtained in Improving the Quadratic Formula to construct a Matlab
    program that will accurately compute the√roots of a quadratic equation in all situations,
    including the troublesome ones when |b| ≈ b2 − 4ac.
