Numbers can be stored in IEEE half-precision format (2 bytes, 16 bits). Each value is stored in 2 bytes with 1 bit for the sign, 10 bits for the mantissa, and 5 bits for the signed exponent. Determine (show your work) the smallest and largest positive normalized floating-point numbers (in decimal value) as well as the machine epsilon for this half-precision representation. Note that the exponents range from -14 to 15
