What would the number 8671.42578125 ten be in IEEE 754 single precision floating point format. You need to follow the following
steps: a). Write the above number in binary. (before normalizing it) b). Write the above number in the normalized format. c). Compute the biased exponent, and write it in binary. d). Write its IEEE 754 single precision floating point format in binary, then in hex. (using 8 hex numbers)
If your original equation was , then a reflection over the x-axis means you need all the y-values to switch sign. This means you need to multiply that function by -1.
