Assignment Help Answers with Step-by-Step Explanation:
The absolute value of -10.675 is 10.675.
The integer part is 10, which is 1010 in binary.
3. Normalize the binary representation:
Move the binary point left or right to have a single 1 to the left of the binary point. In this case, we have 1010.1011.
Sign bit: 1
Exponent (biased): 10000011
1. Sign Bit: The first bit is 0, which means the number is positive.
2. Exponent: The next 8 bits "10000011" represent the exponent in binary.
Now, we need to calculate the value using the formula:
(-1)^sign bit * 2^(exponent - bias) * 1.fraction
(-1)^0 * 2^4 * 1.01010110000000000000000 (binary)
= 1 * 16 * 1.328125
2. Determine the exponent: The exponent is -126. In IEEE 754, you need to add the bias value to the actual exponent. For single-precision (32-bit) format, the bias is 127. So, the biased exponent is 1 (127 - 126).
3. Determine the fraction: The fraction part of the number is 0.625. To represent it in binary, you can use the method of multiplying by 2 and taking the integer part of the result:
Sign bit: 0
Exponent (biased): 1
