Answer:

Explanation:

From the given information:

a_{n-1} , a_{n-2}...a_o in binary is:

a_{n-1}\times 2^{n-1}  + a_{n-2}}\times 2^{n-2}+ ...+a_o

So, the largest number posses all a_{n-1} , a_{n-2}...a_o  nonzero, however, the smallest number has a_{n-2} , a_{n-3}...a_o all zero.

∴

The largest = 11111. . .1 in n times and the smallest = 1000. . .0 in n -1 times

i.e.

(11111111...1)_2 = ( 1 \times 2^{n-1} + 1\times 2^{n-2} + ... + 1 )_{10}

= \dfrac{1(2^n-1)}{2-1}

\mathbf{=2^n -1}

(1000...0)_2 = (1 \times 2^{n-1} + 0 \times 2^{n-2} + 0 \times 2^{n-3} + ... + 0)_{10}

\mathbf {= 2 ^{n-1}}

Hence, the smallest value is \mathbf{2^{n-1}} and the largest value is \mathbf{2^{n}-1}
