If the floating-point number representation on a certain system has a sign bit, a 3-bit exponent, and a 4-bit significand. What

is the smallest positive decimal number that can be stored on this system if the storage is normalized? (Assume no bits are implied, there is no biasing, exponents use two's complement notation, and exponents of all zeros and all ones are allowed.) Note: no leading/trailing zero's.

Answer:

Normalization of storage is a typical method of storing the floating point number by shifting the decimal after the first figure of the number such as 1101.101 is normalized to 1.101101x23.

If the number that is in hovering point representation has 1 sign bit, 3-bit exponent with a 4-bit significant:

whenever the storage is normalized, then the biggest positive floating spot number in 2`s and the complement notation is 0.11112 x 23 = 111.12 =7.5

If the storage is returned to normal, then the minimum positive floating point number is 0.12 x 2-4 =0.000012 =1/32 = 0.03125.

Explanation:

Whenever the floating figure is keyed into the computer memory, then the first bit will be the sign bit, the next 8 bits are for exponent and 23 bits are used for storing significand. The array of exponents is from -127 to 128. While Exponent 127 stands for 0 and positive figures can be represented by values bigger than 127. The biggest floating point number will be represented as 0.111111.... 1111x 211111111

(Financial application: compound value) Suppose you save $100 each month into savings account with an annual interest rate of 5%
Nostrana [21]

Solution:

initial = float(eval(input('Enter the monthly saving amount: ')))

x = (1 + 0.00417)

month_one = initial * x

month_two = (initial + month_one) * x  

month_three = (initial + month_two) * x  

month_four = (initial + month_three) * x

month_five = (initial + month_four) * x  

month_six = (initial + month_five) * x  

print('The sixth month value is: '+str(month_six))  

Don't forget the saving amount, and initialize the balance with that amount. Inside the loop, work out and add the interest and then add the saving amount for the next month.

balance = 801

for month in range(6):

  balance = balance * (1.00417)

print(balance)

The main path of the Internet along which data travels the fastest is known as the Internet ________. Group of answer choices
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

<em>Internet backbone</em>

Explanation:

The internet backbone is made up of multiple networks from multiple users. It is the central data route between interconnected computer networks and core routers of the Internet on the large scale. This backbone does not have a unique central control or policies, and is hosted by big government, research and academic institutes, commercial organisations etc. Although it is governed by the principle of settlement-free peering, in which providers privately negotiate interconnection agreements, moves have been made to ensure that no particular internet backbone provider grows too large as to dominate the backbone market.

anyanavicka [17]
Physics. only one, if the drum is 500m around... 50 turns. you will need on the drum for your cage and skip to move up and down by 500m. 500/18.84= 26.5.

What could be one possible reason where the recipient is not guaranteed that the data being streamed will not get interrupted?
IRINA_888 [86]

One possible reason could be low network bandwidth, where the maximum data throughout allowed by the network is insufficient to accommodate the large amount of data being streamed.

Let me know if you have any questions.
