Chapter 3, Problem 4P

In a fashion similar to that in Fig. 3.11, write a short program to determine the smallest number, x min , used on the computer you will be employing along with this book. Note that your computer will be unable to reliably distinguish between zero and a quantity that is smaller than this number.

I am trying to practice this problem using a checker online, but everytime I recalculate my answer it always says it's incorrect. So far I have calculated and tried to input the following values: 1 hp, 1.01 hp, 0.8 hp, and 12.53 hp,  but it always keeps saying they are incorrect. Please help show me the correct steps on how to get the correct answer as I am trying to learn this process. Thank you!
2. (If relevant) A clearly labeled diagram (or diagrams) clearly pertaining to your analysis with a coordinate system and relevant labels. Final answer with appropriate units and significant figures. You can use the fprintf() command in MATLAB to format numerical results A 2-3 sentence reflection on your answer. Does it make sense? Why or why not? What are some implications?
Determine the units of the variable x in each of the following equations, and specify which rule you used to determine this. Do not solve for the numeric value of x. Show your work beneath the question, or on a separate sheet of paper. Example: 315 feet = (32)x² Rule #1: Both sides of the equal sign must have the same units. Rule #2: Values that are added or subtracted must have the same units. Rule #13: Argument of a trig function must be an angle. Rule #14: Argument of an inverse trig function must have no units. Rule #5: Exponents must have no units. x has units of seconds because of Rule # 1
