A. ERROR MEASUREMENT
Complete the table below, with remarks satisfying the
indicated error. You may rewrite the table on your
blue book.

Solution: The analysis starts with the volume of a

spherical cap,

1. [15 pts] Absolute error 0.005.

2. Problem: A Martini glass filled to 6 cm depth contains

~ 216 / 3 units of wine. How deep must you fill a
wine glass to ensure that it contains the same amount
of wine. Assume wine glass to be of spherical shape.

B. ROOT APPROXIMATION
1. [15 pts] Find all positive, nonzero roots of
sin x 0.1x 0 using the Newton-Raphson
Method. Show your approximation through
a table.

C. REPRESENTATION OF NUMBERS
1. [15 pts]

Represent 54.7510 in floating-point binary

format.

Suppose assumed a word that is 9 bits long, where the

first bit is used for the sign of the number, the second
bit for the sign of the exponent, the next four bits for
the mantissa, and the next three bits for the exponent.
