Assume we are using the simple model for floating-point representation as given in this book (the representation uses a 16-bit format, 5 bits for the exponent with a bias of excess-15, a normalized mantissa of 10 bits, and a single sign bit for the number): Show how the computer would represent the numbers a) +3.53125 and -3.34375 using this floating-point format. a) +3.53125 b)-0.09375

Consider a hypothetical 8 bit floating point machine representation with a sign bit, a 3 bit exponent, and a 4 bit mantissa (se1e2e3b1b2b3b4), where the exponent bias is 3 (add 3 to exponent of number to form machine representation).

Answer the given question with a proper explanation and step-by-step solution. Find the doubleword-length 2's complement hex representation of the following decimal number: -934 Notes: When writing the hex value using this representation, you should always write pairs of digits with spaces between them. For example, if the value is 3F2E44DA2C, then it should be written as 3F 2E 44 DA 2C. Make sure your answer is the correct size. If it is not written in the correct size, it is wrong! Hexadecimal:
