2.(theoretical,5 points) Consider a binary floating point number system with 1 bit for sign,
7 bits for mantissa and 5 bits for exponent. We mimic single precision format and reserve ex-
ponents (00000)2 and (11111)2 for special numbers (\pm zeros, \pm infinities, subnormal numbers,
etc.). The rest of the exponents (00001)2<=<=(11110)2 are used to represent normalized
numbers. We further stipulate that the actual exponent is computed by (12345)215
so that there are negative exponents. You are now asked to answer the following questions:
(1) An example of a normalized number in may be: =1|0011011|10011 and the value
it represents is (1)1\times (1.0011011)2\times 2(10011)215. Note that the red bit in front of the
mantissa is not actually stored. Its assumed to be there for normalized numbers so
