1). Consider the quadratic equation
x^2+ 100 x + 1 = 0
(i) Compute approximate roots by solving
x^2 -100 x = 0
(ii) Use the quadratic formula to compute the roots ofequation
(iii) Repeat the computation of the roots but use 3 digitprecision.
(iv) Compute the relative absolute errors in the two 3 digitprecision root approximations in (iii).
(v) With x1 =1/2a (-b + sqrt b^2 - 4ac and x2 = 1/2a (-b + sqrt b^2- 4a, show that x1x2 =c/a and  Discuss
the conditions under which one of the zeros can be trusted and theother zero not.
(vi) Using your 3 digit precision computations, recompute thesecond zero by rearranging x1x2 = c/a appromately
