In an 8-bit binary numbering system,
how can you tell if a number is
positive or negative? Explain!
Look at the MSB – if it is a “0”
The number is positive. If it is
a “1” the number is negative.

system and what are they?
16 digits:
0-9
and
A through F

Find the binary AND decimal sum of
the problem below.
01110101
+ 10011011
00010000 = 16
What is the hexadecimal equivalent of
1572710?

What is the correct truth table output for
an XOR gate?

How can a multiplexer/demultiplexer be
used to conserve energy. Provide an
explanation and an example.
MUX or DEMUX circuits can
be used to power electronic
clocks & scoreboards.
They can conserve energy if they are
cycled on one at a time, rather than all
at once. If cycled fast enough, they all
appear to be on at the same time!
