Assume we are using the simple model for floating-point representation as given in the text (the representation uses 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 for the number):
a) show how the computer would represent the numbers 100.0 and 0.25 using this floating-point format.
b) show how the computer would add the two floating-point numbers in part a by changing one of the numbers so they are both expressed using the same power of 2.
c) show how the computer would represent the sum in part b using the given floating-point representation. what decimal value for the sum is the computer actually storing? explain.

the answer is c . farah has completed a post-secondary education program and is now ready to begin working, without additional training, on her first day.

a  social news website  is an  internet  website  that features  user-posted stories. such stories are ranked based on popularity, as voted on by other users of the site or by website administrators. users typically comment online on the news posts and these comments may also be ranked in popularity. since their emergence with the birth of  web 2.0, social news sites have been used to link many types of information, including news, humor, support, and discussion. all such websites allow the users to submit content and each site differs in how the content is moderated. on the  slashdot  and  fark  websites,  administrators  decide which articles are selected for the front page. on  reddit  and  digg, the articles that get the most votes from the community of users will make it to the front page. many social news websites also feature an online comment system, where users discuss the issues raised in an article. some of these sites have also applied their voting system to the comments, so that the most popular comments are displayed first. some social news websites also have a  social networking  function, in that users can set up a user profile and follow other users' online activity on the website.
