Chapter 1, Problem 1CR
The number system most widely used in the world today is known as the Hindu-Arabic numeral system, or __________ number system. (1-1)
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
To fill: The blank in the statement “The number system most widely used in the world today is known as the Hindu-Arabic numeral system, or _____ number system”.
Answer to Problem 1CR
The complete statement is “The number system most widely used in the world today is known as the Hindu-Arabic numeral system, or decimal number system”.
Explanation of Solution
Decimal number system is system that uses the 10 Hindu-Arabic symbols 0 through 9.
In this system, the value is affected by the position of the digit to the left or right of the decimal point.
Therefore, the number system most widely used in the world today is known as the Hindu-Arabic numeral system, or decimal number system.

On Feb. 8, this year, at 6am in the morning all UiB meteorology professors met to discuss a highly unfortunate
and top-urgent crisis: Their most precious instrument, responsible for measuring the air temperature hour-by-
hour, had failed - what if the Bergen public would find out? How would they plan their weekend without
up-to-date air temperature readings? Silent devastation - and maybe a hint of panic, also - hung in the room.
Apprentice Taylor, who - as always - was late to the meeting, sensed that this was his chance to shine! Could
they fake the data? At least for some hours (until the measurements would work again)? He used to spend a
lot of time online and thus knew the value of fake data, especially when it spread fast!
He reminded the crying professors of a prehistoric project with the title "Love your derivatives as you love
yourself!" - back then, they had installed top-modern technology that not only measured the air temperature
itself, but also its 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and…
Consider a forest where the population of a particular plant species grows exponentially. In a real-world
scenario, we often deal with systems where the analytical function describing the phenomenon is not available.
In such cases, numerical methods come in handy.
For the sake of this task, however, you are provided with an analytical function so that you can compare
the results of the numerical methods to some ground truth. The population P(t) of the plants at time t (in
years) is given by the equation:
P(t) = 200
0.03 t
You are tasked with estimating the rate of change of the plant population at t = 5 years using numerical
differentiation methods. First, compute the value of P'(t) at t = 5 analytically. Then, estimate P'(t) at t = 5
years using the following numerical differentiation methods:
⚫ forward difference method (2nd-order accurate)
3
⚫ backward difference method (2nd-order accurate)
⚫ central difference method (2nd-order accurate)
Use h = 0.5 as the step size and round all…
