hi,
in bounds sometimes they ask you to
'By considering bounds, work out the value of A to a suitable degree of accuracy'
what does it mean by a suitable degree of accuracy?

then you should round it to either 1,2 or 3 decimal places ie. 4.58(2.dp)
just make sure you specify the fact that it's 2.dp

Yea, as others have said. It says suitable so that should mean to you simply as: not a stupid number, As the guy above me said 4.57768843753287358 blah blah, just round it to 1dp or even 2dp which ever. As that is suitable.

For example: The lower bound of an equation =1.7094... and the lower bound= 1.7091..., then your answer to a suitable degree of accuracy would be 1.709.
Note: if the answer can be rounded for example if the lower bound was 1.7095..., then your answer would be 1.71 instead of 1.709 because 1.7095 can be rounded to 1.780.
Hope that made sense.

Edit: also state how many decimal places.

work out upper bound and lower bound and round the answer to a answer that is matched by both upper and lower bounds so
if lb is 0.287 and ub is 0.293221
round to 0.29 (2dp) as both ub and lb round to this value
