(0.1d1d2d3. . . . . .dm). e , where =2, -3 e 4, m = 5.

1. a. What is the maximum number that can be stored in this system?

2. b. What is the minimum number that can be stored in this system?

3. c. How many different numbers can we store in this System?

4. d. What would be the maximum number of the system if there is no support for negative numbers?
5. What would be the minimum number of the system if there is no support for negative numbers?

2. Let = 2, m = 3, emin = -2, emax = 1. Here the symbols have their usual meanings as in the notes. We are using a denormalized system here. Please note that you can have both positive and negative numbers.
