Which effect results when early Islamic astronomers, solving for planetary orbits using algebraic methods, encounter observation limitations?

💡 Explanation

Algebra allowed predicting planetary positions, but observations only had a level accuracy. Because of the limitations of instruments and because the method used was algebraic approximations using polynomial expansions therefore the calculations gave approximations rather than absolute values when extrapolated. If one solves using modern day hardware and equations you still run into limitations related to precision of equations and hardware
