To illustrate:

b^xT - b^xA [approximately equal to] (log b)b^xT (x_T - x_A)
Rel(b^xA) [approximately equal to] (log b)x_T Rel(x_A)(*)
k = (log b)x_T (**)

[Please see the attachment for the formatted question]

Compare pi^100 to pi^100.1. Calculate these directly as accurately as you can. Then calculate Rel(pi^100.1) directly using (*). Also give the condition number k of (**).
