> Just so I follow, what you are saying is that the polynomial (rational
function, I guess)
No, it is really a polynomial—but one of degree 100, with large
coefficients that alternate in sign.
> given will be ''correct'', but that substituting floating point numbers
are likely to be inaccurate unless carried out to a very high degree of
precision?
Precisely. (Well, not necessarily a ''very'' high precision, but probably
something like 80-100 guard bits in my example.)
