Write a program that converts a given floating point binary number with a 24-bit normalized mantissa and an 8-bit exponent to its decimal (i. e. base 10) equivalent. for the mantissa, use the representation that has a hidden bit, and for the exponent use a bias of 127 instead of a sign bit. of course, you need to take care of negative numbers in the mantissa also. use your program to answer the following questions: (a) mantissa: 0010 11000101 01101010, exponent: 01011000. what is the base-10 number?

Acetylene is a gas which burns rapidly on its own, and is considered highly explosive. a) true b) false

There is a simple pattern for determining if a binary number is odd. what is it and why does this pattern occur? how many bits would you need if you wanted to have the ability to count up to 1000? how high could you count in binary if you used all 10 of your fingers as bits? (finger up means 1, finger down means 0)

Me with this program in c++ ! computers represent color by combining sub-colors red, green, and blue (rgb). each sub-color's value can range from 0 to 255. thus (255, 0, 0) is bright red. (130, 0, 130) is a medium purple. (0, 0, 0) is black, (255, 255, 255) is white, and (40, 40, 40) is a dark gray. (130, 50, 130) is a faded purple, due to the (50, 50, 50) gray part. (in other word, equal amounts of red, green, blue yield gray).given values for red, green, and blue, remove the gray part. ex: if the input is 130 50 130, the output is: 80 0 80. thus, find the smallest value, and then subtract it from all three values, thus removing the gray.
