Question: Problem 1 . To represent 2 6 characters in English ( ignore cases ) using a binary language, we need 5 digits ( bits )

Problem 1. To represent 26 characters in English (ignore cases) using a binary language, we need 5 digits (bits), because 25=32, which is greater than 26. Suppose one language has 48 characters. Using binary language (each bit has values 0 or 1) of modern computers, how many digits (bits) would be needed to represent the entire character set? Assuming that a different electronic computer uses a ternary language (each bit has three values 0,1, or 2), how many digits (bits) in the ternary language would be needed to represent the 48 characters?
Problem 2. Convert decimal (base 10) number 2021 to (1) binary representation; (2) octal representation; and (3) hexadecimal representation. Show your work step by step.
Note: You can type your solutions using a word processor and convert it to PDF format or you can write them on a paper and then take a picture. So either a PDF file or an image file is acceptable.
