H - For the IEEE 754 single-precision floating point, write the hexadecimal representation for the following decimal values: (i)–1.0 (ii)– 0.0 (iii)256.015625
True/False In Floating Point Addition, the exponents of the two numbers being added need to be made equal before the mantissa fields can be added, as this ensures that the bit positional values are now aligned
Determine the sign bit (S), the exponent bits (E), and the mantissa bits (M) for a value of 0.6730. Use 8-bit floating point as described in class - 1 sign bit, 3 exponent bits (biased by 3), and 4 mantissa bits. Note write down your results... you will need them in the next problem.

Floating-Point Representation. What is the floating-point value for binary 4. a) 11000010100000 using the simple model (14-bit format, 5 bits for the exponent with a bias 15, a normalized significand of 8 bits, and a single sign bit for the number)?
Select the value that is equivalent of Single Precision Floating Point (SPFP) presented in hexadecimal "OX3E600000 ": O +(0.00111)2 O +(0.0011)2 O +(110.00)2 O +(1100.0)2 O +(0.001111)2
Imagine that there was a IEEE standard for 7-bit floating-point numbers with 3 bits for the exponent and 3 bits for the fraction and bias equal to 3. What would be the exact value in decimal of the bitstring under such a format? Your Answer: Answer 1110101
Why is normalized form often used to store floating-point numbers? What are the advantages of putting a bias in the exponent rather than a sign bit?
Please written by computer source Assume a floating-point representation on 14-bits including a sign bit, 5 bits for the exponent with a bias of 15, and a normalized significand on 8 bits (in the format 0.1xxx…, where the 0. is implied). Represent the number -20.25 in this format. Represent the number 0.15 in this format. step by step please.
