1. Recall that a floating-point number can be expressed as (-1) (1+f) 2 where s, f and e are binary numbers. Recall that (s) is the sign indicator, (f) the mantissa (or fractional part), and (e) the exponent. Suppose the sign is 1 bit long, the mantissa 24 bits long, and the exponent has 9 bits. What are the largest and smallest positive numbers in this computer system?
