Which memory type is characterized by its ability to retain data even when power is removed? (Select 2)

What is the result of multiplying the following binary numbers? 11011 x 1001 Enter answer in binary with no spaces and no leading 0’s.

Assuming the following values for each register, what is the value of each register after this MIPS code segment has executed. Do not include any approximations that would occur when representing floating point numbers in binary. # Initial Values $f2 = 15.6 $t1 = 6 # Code to be executed mtc1 $t1, $f1 div.s $f1, $f2, $f1 floor.w.s $f3, $f1 mfc1 $t3, $f3   # Final Values? $f1 = [f1] $f2 = [f2] $f3 = [f3] $t3 = [t3]

Write the following IEEE 754 single precision floating point number as a binary floating point number.   11000011 00100011 11101000 00000000 Enter answer in binary, no spaces, no leading or trailing zeros. Do not include the base. Include the radix point and – if it is a negative number.
