Transcribed Image Text A short review if you need: A CRC-3 will have a four-bit polynomial. The largest would be aax + bx² + cx' + dx° . The highest degree is 3, leading to the name CRC-3. The values a b.c.d are coefficients of the terms of each polynomial, and are all single-bit values. A coefficient is either O or 1, thus the term is either included or excluded. We might describe a polynomial by these coefficients. So 1100 (decimal 12, hexadecimal OxC) would be r+ x? Use this polynomial r + x as the generator, with the message 11010111. You should get a 3-bit remainder.

In this question, you are provided with an IEEE-754 floating-point number in the form of 8 hexadecimal digits. You are asked to decode this value into its decimal representation. Do NOT use scientific notation. Do NOT round or truncate your answer. Do NOT add any spaces or commas to your answer. If the converted number is positive, do NOT add the plus sign. Your answer will consist of two parts, the integer value and the fraction value. Do not add any insignificant zeros to your answer. For the fraction part, you can start it by a decimal point or by a single 0, followed by a decimal point. Convert, i.e., decode, 0x48804008 from the 32-bit single-precision IEEE-754 FP representation into decimal representation. The integer part of the number is: D The fractional part of the number (including the decimal point) is: b
