Assume that you have a computer with the following properties:

1. Exact representation of base-10 numbers.
2. Infinite precision artimetic (no truncation).
3. Contributes no error to the input data in any way.

In solving Ax=b with such a non-existent computer, does
the condition number of A matter? If so, why?
