Expert Solution
Step 1: Introduction

In a computer system, the stack is a data structure used for managing program execution and storing data temporarily. The stack typically grows in one direction, either towards higher memory addresses or lower memory addresses, depending on the architecture. In this scenario, we assume that the stack grows towards lower memory addresses, and the stack pointer is initially in register R6 and contains the value x4000.
