Convert the hexadecimal number, ce384, to base 10 and binary. remember that in hexadecimal, a=10, b=11, c=12, d=13 e=14, and f=15. how would using different computers with different number systems, i. e. like the one in example 3.5, affect the error of the represented numbers? consider the base and the word with different number of bits allotted for the exponent and mantissa and give a numerical example.

there is no universally accepted definition of art. although commonly used to describe something of beauty, or a skill which produces an aesthetic result, there is no clear line in principle between (say) a unique piece of handmade sculpture, and a mass-produced but visually attractive item. we might say that art requires thought - some kind of creative impulse - but this raises more questions: for example, how much thought is required? if someone flings paint at a canvas, hoping by this action to create a work of art, does the result automatically constitute art?
