5. Euler's number, e, is one of the most important numbers in mathematics. It is an irrational number, and is bounded
between the two rational approximations 19/7 and 193/71.
The numerical value of e truncated to 50 decimal places is:
2.71828 18284 59045 23536 02874 71352 66249 77572 47093 69995
The double-precision floating-point approximation of e has the hexadecimal representation 4005BF0A8B145769.
a. What is the fractional binary number denoted by this floating-point value?
b. What is the fractional binary representation of 19/7?
c. At what bit position (relative to the binary point) do these two approximations to e diverge?
