Although it is not commonly used, MATLAB allows numbers to be expressed in single precision. Each value is stored in 4 bytes with 1 bit for the sign, 23 bits for the mantissa, and 8 bits for the signed exponent. Determine the smallest and largest positive floating-point numbers for single precision. Express your answer to 5 significant digits

An atom's diameter is about 0.1 nanometer (1×10-9m), and a human hair is about 1×10-3m. how many times greater is a human hair than an atom's diameter? sorry pushed wronf button but this is math

Suppose there is a relation r(a, b, c) with a b+-tree index with search keys (a, b).1. what is the worst-case cost of finding records satisfying 10 < a < 50 using this index, in terms of the number of records n1, retrieved and the height h of the tree? 2. what is the worst-case cost of finding records satisfying 10 < a < 50 and 5 < b < 10 using this index, in terms of the number of records n2 that satisfy this selection, as well as n1 and h defined above? 3. under what conditions on n1 and n2, would the index be an efficient way of finding records satisfying the condition from part (2)?
