It is negative only when the number itself is negative.
hence, sometimes.

Dividing negative exponents is almost the same as multiplying them, except you're doing the opposite: subtracting where you would have added and dividing where you would have multiplied. If the bases are the same, subtract the exponents. Remember to flip the exponent and make it positive, if needed.

1011+111 in binary form

Ann [662]

Answer:

10010

Step-by-step explanation:

$1011=1(2)^3+0(2)^2+1(2)^1+1(2)^0$

$111=1(2)^2+1(2)^1+1(2)^0$

So $1011+111$ gives us:

$1(2)^3+0(2)^2+1(2)^1+1(2)^0$

$+$

$1(2)^2+1(2)^1+1(2)^0$

-----------------------------------------------------

Combine like terms:

$1(2)^3+(0+1)(2)^2+(1+1)(2)^1+(1+1)(2)^0$

$1(2)^3+1(2)^2+(2)(2)^1+(2)(2)^0$

We aren't allowed to have a coefficient bigger than 1.

I'm going to replace $2^0$ with 1 and $2$ with $(2)^1$ :

$1(2)^3+1(2)^2+(2)^2+(2)^1(1)$

I want a $2^0$ number:

$1(2)^3+1(2)^2+1(2)^2+1(2)^1+0(2)^0$

Combine like terms:

$1(2)^3+2(2)^2+1(2)^1+0(2)^0$

$2(2)^2=2^3$ :

$1(2)^3+2^3+1(2)^1+0(2)^0$

Combine like terms:

$2(2)^3+1(2)^1+0(2)^0$

We can rewrite the first term by law of exponents:

$2^4+1(2)^1+0(2)^0$

$1(2)^4+1(2)^1+0(2)^0$

So the binary form is:

$10010$

Keep in mind 1+1=10 and that 1+1+1=11:

Setup:

1 0 1 1

+ 1 1 1

------------------------------

(1) (1) (1)

1 0 1 1

+ 1 1 1

------------------------------

1 0 0 1 0

I had to do some carry over with my 1+1=10 and 1+1+1=11.
