Question: 2. Recall for the half-precision binary floating-point format, 1 bit is reserved for the sign of the number, 5 bits for the exponent and 10

2. Recall for the half-precision binary floating-point format, 1 bit is reserved for the sign of the number, 5 bits for the exponent and 10 bits for the significand/mantissa. Recall as well that the significand has an implicit lead bit with value 1 and the 10 bits explicitly stores only the fractional part of the binary number. a. Find the machine precision, , for the half-precision format. b. What decimal digit is represented in the half-precision format as c. What decimal digit is represented in the half-precision format as d. What is the representation of (3458)10 in the half-precision format
