3. In a computer system a byte is a sequence of bits in which each bit may be either a 0 or a 1. For example, in the 8-bit
byte representation below each box can house either a 0 or a 1.
i) How many base 10 whole numbers can be represented
with an 8 bit byte? Show your reasoning.
ii) What is the largest base 10 whole number
representable by an 8-bit byte?
iii) All positive integers in an 8-bit byte must have a 0 in
the left most bit. With this in mind, what is the largest
positive number representable with 8 binary bits? Show
your reasoning.
iv) Negative integers are stored in binary by designating
the left most bit a “1”, such that a given positive number
plus its additive inverse equals 100000000. That is, the
add so that 1 is carried “off the byte.” Find the 8 bit
binary additive inverses of
i) 11112
2) 1010102
4. Consider the ODEIVP dy/dx = X2Y when y(0) =1.
a) Derive the analytical solution to the ODEIVP.
b) Use the Euler/Trapezoid rule to calculate by hand to
find the solution to the first 3 points (Including initial
value)for the ODEIVP when the step size H = .5. State
both x and y values (3 significant digits).

6. Create a fractal, unlike what we saw in class and unlike those in the homework. Then show how some fractal
measure is found.
