True / False The exponent in floating point is stored as a biased value.

Answer:

True

Explanation:

The bias value present in a floating point number deals with the positiveness and negativeness of the exponent part for a floating point number. The bias value for a floating point number is 127. It means that 127 is always needed to be added to the exponent part of any floating point number.

In a single precision floating point number, we need 8 bits to store the exponent. Rather than storing it as a signed two's complement number, it is easier to simply add 127 to the exponent (because the lowest value that can be in 8 bit signed is -127) and simply store it as an unsigned number. If the stored value is bigger than the bias then it would mean the value of the exponent is positive otherwise it is negative, but if they are equal then it is 0.

Artist 52 [7]

Answer:The number of standards

Explanation:Electronic data interchange (EDI) is the mechanism through which data is interchanged in the system electronically.It is mostly found in the business field for exchanging of data.

You manage a network that uses a single switch. All ports within your building connect through the single switch. In the lobby o

Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

<u>VLANs</u>

Explanation:

Virtual LANs (VLANs) are a type of network connection or arrangement of network devices in the same broadcast domain. They are called Virtual LANs because they represent fractions or subgroups in the switch ports found in an Ethernet LAN.

Indeed, because of their topological arrangement, this reduces the security risk of unauthorized access to sensitive data or devices since the host can be placed on a different VLAN. Hence, in this scenario, using this network feature would allow visitors to plug into these ports to gain internet access, but they would not have access to any other devices on the private network.

Assume that cell F5 to F10 In a spreadsheet contains numeric value of salary earned by some workers and cell F12 contains the va

snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

=F5*$F$12+F5

Explanation:

If we want to increment the salaries in the cell F5, we must multiply the cell F5 by cell F12, and then we must sum that result.

If we want to drag the formula from the cell F5 to F10, we must use the dollar symbol $ to apply the same percent in our formula.

For example:

F12 = 5% = 0.05

F5 = 10,000

=F5*$F$12+F5

=10,000×0.05+10,000 = 10,500
