Question: computer architecture. [6] What does the 8-bit binary value 10010110 represent if a computer is using: Signed magnitude representation? Signed one's complement representation? Signed two's

computer architecture.

  1. [6] What does the 8-bit binary value 10010110 represent if a computer is using:
    1. Signed magnitude representation?
    2. Signed one's complement representation?
    3. Signed two's complement representation?

  2. [6] Using 5 bits, give the range of values (in decimal) that can be represented (i.e., the largest positive number and the smallest negative number), assuming we are using:
    1. Signed magnitude representation
    2. Signed one's complement representation
    3. Signed two's complement representation

  3. [6] From the results of the previous question (plus the example we did in class using 3 bits), generalize the range of values (in decimal) that can be represented in x number of bits using:
    1. Signed magnitude representation
    2. Signed one's complement representation
    3. Signed two's complement representation
