Consider a ternary, normalized floating-point number system that is base 3. Analogous to a bit, a ternary digit is a trit. Assume that a hypothetical ternary computer uses the following floating-point representation: where sm is the sign of the mantissa and se is the sign of the exponent (0 for positive, 1 for negative), t1, t2, t3 and t4 are the trits of the mantissa, and e1, e2 are the trits of the exponent, where each trit is 0,1 or 2. For parts (a) to (b), Xio) is used to indicate that the number provided is in decimal. Show all your work for all parts
