(12pt) Encode the largest floating-pointer number that can be represented by the IEEE 754 standard (single precision) in a 32-bit word. a. Sign (1 binary bit) b. Exponent (8 binary bits) 7. (Note the largest exponent 11111111 is reserved for special numbers.) c. Fraction (23 binary bits) d. Putting all the bits together, the 8 hexadecimal digits for this largest number- e. Decode the 32-bit word above as a binary normalized scientific notation for this largest number - The decimal normalized scientific notation for this largest number is about (The number has to be in the form of 1.x*2') f. .(The number has to be in the form of x.y*10)
