Indian Institute of Technology Bombay


Quiz 1

Time: 1 hour Marks: 15


Instructors: S. Baskar and S. Sivaji Ganesh Date: 23-01-2018

Instructions:

(1) Write your Name, Roll Number, and Tutorial Batch clearly on your answer book as well as every supple-
ment you may use. A penalty of -1 mark will be awarded for failing to do so.
(2) Number the pages of your answer book and make a question-page index on the front page.
(3) The answer to each question should start on a new page. If the answer for a question is split into two parts and
written in two different places, the first part alone will be corrected.
(4) Only scientific calculators are allowed. Any kind of programing device is not allowed.
(5) Formulas used need not be proved but needs to be stated clearly.
(6) The question paper contains 4 questions. Answer all the questions.

(1) Let f (x) be continuous on [a, b], let x1 , · · · , xn be points in [a, b], and let g1 , · · · , gn be negative
real numbers. Show that

(2) Let xA = −3.14 and yA = 0.512 be obtained from the numbers xT and yT , respectively, using
4-digit rounding. For any such values of xT and yT , find the smallest interval that contains
xT /yT . [4 Marks]

(3) Define the notion of number of significant digits. Obtain the number of significant digits of
xA = 0.0140191 present in x = 0.0140185.
[4 Marks]

(4) Let f : R → R and g : R → R be continuously differentiable functions such that


• there exists a constant M > 0 such that |f ′ (x)| ≥ M and |g ′ (x)| ≤ M for all x ∈ R,
• the condition number of f is less than 1, and
• the condition number of g is greater than 1.
Show that |g(x)| < |f (x)| for all x ∈ R. [3 Marks]
