Question: Using 5 bits, give the range of values (in decimal) that can be represented (i.e., the largest positive number and the smallest negative number), assuming

  1. Using 5 bits, give the range of values (in decimal) that can be represented (i.e., the largest positive number and the smallest negative number), assuming we are using:
    1. Signed magnitude representation
    2. Signed one's complement representation
    3. Signed two's complement representation

2. From the results of the previous question generalize the range of values (in decimal) that can be represented in x number of bits using:

  1. Signed magnitude representation
  2. Signed one's complement representation
  3. Signed two's complement representation

Can you please solve 1,2?
