Find the intersection of y=x-1 and y=sin(x) |
2009-10-10 |
|
From Usama: There are many modern calculators and softwares that can plot the functions.
I have two very simple equations y=x-1 and y=sin(x), if i draw them manually on paper i can not get the accurate value.
But i think a computer can easily draw perfect straight and curve lines so it should be easy to find the intersection point of two lines.
Is there any way or software that can tell the exact value of intersection point of two lines? Answered by Robert Dawson and Harley Weston. |

Numerical problems |
2001-11-27 |
|
From Yossi: I am preparing a 45 minutes class for K-12 students. The problem is to show that algebraic equivalent expressions are not always numerically equivalent. In particular I would like to show one of these dangers: cancellation that occurs during the subtraction of nearly equal quantities. Do you have a good reference I could use to prepare my class. In particular to be able to show some examples and how one can avoid this type of error. I also would like to show examples with practical use. I tried to look up in the web but did not find anyhting appropriate. Answered by Chris Fisher. |
