Matlab help

2) Floating point encoding: Matlab uses by default the 64 bit floating point format to encode numbers: 1 bit for the sign of the number, 1 bit for the sign of the exponent, 52 bit for the significand and 10 bit for the exponent a) Compute the corresponding machine epsilon (check your result using the command "eps") b) How many significant digits does the significand have (in base 10)? Check this by using the format long command c) Determine the highest possible number that can be encoded in the 64 bit float format, and check your result using Matlab
