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
Five Byte values (1, 2, 3, 4, 5) are created in a BitArray by a c# application, which also shows each byte in its correct binary form:
Question 11 Not yet answered P Flag question A computer system uses 8 bits to represent floating-point values. The 8 bits are organised as follows: The first bit is a sign bit (0 for positive, 1 for negative). The middle 3 bits are the exponent, which uses bias of 3. The last 4 bits are the significand, which is normalised in the same way as the significand is normalised in IEEE-754 formats. The format does not reserve any special values. The following arithmetic operation is performed on this system: 00011000 x 11000110 The result is then stored in the same 8-bit floating-point format. What is the relative error of the stored result comapred to the value of the result of the arithmetic operation? Answer s are rounded to 5 decimal places. O a. None of the other answers. O b. 0.03030% O c. 0.03125% O d. 0.97865% O e. 0%
