- How many ways are there to construct a 4-digit code if numbers can be repeated?arrow_forwardA computer byte consists of eight bits, each bit being either a 0 or a 1. Assume that characters are represented using a code that uses a byte for each character. Some written languages, such as Chinese and Japanese, use tens of thousands of different characters. If a language uses roughly 51,000 characters, a computer code for this language would have to use how many bytes per character?arrow_forwardIf it will be allowed to use a number repeatedly, how many 4-digit numbers can we form from the numbers 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9.arrow_forward
- Show, without a calculator, that 8 sinsinsin = √3arrow_forwardA company wants to have a 6 digit phone extension with the first digit not being zeroarrow_forwardWe are using the simple model for floating point representation which is a 14-bit format, 5 bits for the exponent with a bias of 15, a normalized mantissa of 8 bits, and a single sign bit. Show step by step how the computer would represent the following numbers using this floating- point format a. 0.4062510 i. Convert it into a binary number ii. Normalize this binary number iii. Fill up the fieldsarrow_forward
- The first three digits of a 10-digit phone number make up the area code for the number. How many 10-digit phone numbers are possible (in general) if the area codecannot be 911 (since these are reserved for emergency use)?arrow_forwardis this fully simlified ?arrow_forwardplease send the answer for the wrong partarrow_forward
