Question: In the classes, we discussed three forms of floating number representations as given below, ( 1 ) Standard / General Form, ( 2 ) Normalized

In the classes, we discussed three forms of floating number representations as given below,
(1) Standard/General Form, (2) Normalized Form, (3) Denormalized Form.
Now, lets take,
\beta =2, m =3, emin =-2 and emax =3. Based on these, answer the following:
(a)(2 marks) What are the maximum/largest numbers that can be stored in the system by these three forms defined above? (express your answer in decimal values)
(b)(2 marks) What are the non-negative minimum/smallest numbers that can be stored in the system by the denormalized form? (express your answer in decimal values)
(c)(2 marks) How many numbers (both non-negative and negative) can be represented in the above mentioned system using the general form? Explain your answer.
(d)(4 marks) Find all the decimal numbers for e =3 and e =2 in denormalized form, plot them on a real line and prove that all the numbers are not equally spaced. Write the equally spaced sets for the number line you drew.
