Question 1

Given the equation x = 1/(1-x), analyze how small changes in x affect the output when x approaches 1. Discuss whether the function is well or ill-conditioned.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Use the concept of derivatives to help understand the sensitivity.

Question 2

Describe a scenario in engineering where numerical stability is critical. What can happen if an unstable algorithm is used?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider systems where safety is a priority.
