a = 1.0 x 29 b = -1.0 x 29 c = 1.0 x 21

3. Let -1.0x2 3.1 Convert these floating point numbers to binary using the simple model described in the textbook for representing (express the result in binary) 14-bits 5 bits for the exponent with a bias of 15 8 bits for the normalized mantissa (no hidden bit) 1 bit for the sign C- 3.2 Perform the following calculations using binary arithmetic: b (a+c)- (b+a)c 3.3 Explain why you got the result you did. 3.4. Would you get the same kind of result using multiplication rather then addition (why or why not)
