Converting Floating Point Values in the Binary Numerical System

[D] Consider a 16-bit, floating-point number in a format similar to that discussed in Problem 9.21, with a 6-bit exponent and a 9-bit mantissa fraction. The base of the scale factor is 2 and the exponent is represented in excess- 31 format. (a) Add the numbers A and B, formatted as follows: A= 0 100001 11111110 B= 0 011111 001010101 Give the answer in normalized form. Remember that an implicit 1 is to the left of the binary point but is not included in the A and B formats.
