Does this thing come with a warranty? If you use two different calculators to do the same calculations, are you guaranteed to always get exactly the same answer? Explain your answer.
To find:Whether it is guaranteed to get the same answer using two different calculators.
Explanation of Solution
Let there be two calculator, one which rounds it results to eight decimal places and another that truncates it results to eight decimal places.
Now iterate the equation,
Table (1)
As the value of
Therefore, it is not guaranteed to get the same result using two different calculator as it can be seen from Table (1), the values diverges as the iteration is increased.
