a)
Here, the possibility of nearly equal subtraction will occur when . And then it is only possible when . Considering machine epsilon for 64-bit double precision format the maximum value of for which subtractive cancelation will occur is numerically equal to . To solve this situation we can change the form of the expression such as to convert the subtraction into addition. We can do this in following manner:

b)
Here, the possibility of subtractive cancelation will occur when . Then the limiting value for possible x to create subtractive calculation will be 1 . To solve this situation we can change the form of the expression such as to convert the subtraction into addition. We can do this in following manner: ( )

c)
Here, the possibility of subtractive cancelation will occur when . Then the limiting value for possible x to create subtractive calculation will be 1 . To solve this situation we can change the form of the expression such as to convert the subtraction into addition. We can do this in following manner:
