Question: ( b ) Express 1 9 . 2 1 0 in binary. ( c ) You'll notice that in part ( b ) , the

(b) Express 19.210 in binary.
(c) You'll notice that in part (b), the fractional part in decimal (.2) does not convert nicely to a binary value. If we seek a particular precision, how do we know when to stop? Let's assume that there is an uncertainty of +-1 in the last digit of the original number; i.e., the value we want to convert is (19.2+-0.1)(in base 10). Thus, we want to find out how many digits we need in the fractional part of the converted binary value so that it is at least as precise as the original value. Putting it all together, we need to satisfy the condition:
(precision/ uncertainty in converted value)(precision/ uncertainty in original value)
2-n10-m
m=1 since there was one digit in the fractional part of the original number and n will be the number of digits needed in the fractional part of the converted binary answer. With all this in mind, solve for the required n(which must be an integer) to express 19.2 in binary, to an appropriate precision.
(d) Express the value 0xE3FED. 2 A 9 in decimal, to appropriate precision.
 (b) Express 19.210 in binary. (c) You'll notice that in part
