Problem A
Usually the number of bits in a byte is 8 or 16 or 32 and recently 64. You don't have to write a formula to restrict it to this number of bits. You are not asked to do so. The general formula is 2^n - 1 for the problem of Millie and her golden keys. Somehow the system can be made to choose the right number of bits. Apple IIe s for example, used 8 bits and there was a location that told the processor that fact.
2^n - 1 <<<<< Answer
Problem B
In this case n = 4
2^n - 1 = 2^4 - 1 = 16 - 1 = 15
Millie can collect 15 keys <<<<<< Answer
Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
subtract 12x from both sides, then divide by twelve.
The answer is 22 because you have 8 then you multiply 3 that gives you 24 then you subtract 2 and that. gives. you 22
Answer:
Obviously only D is true
Note 2 x - 1 < 10 can be rewritten
2 X < 11 and
x < 5.5
So all of the values in the set would have to be less than 5.5
