How do I convert the signed base 2 number 11110000 to base 10?
Q. Also, how do I convert the signed base 10 number -8 to an eight bit base two number? I know an unsigned 111000 = 240 and an unsigned 8 = 0001000, but these are signed and therefore are negative.

A. As the previous answer said, there are more than one way of storing negative numbers, I will assume 2's complement. In general, we follow this pattern: 1. convert to positive 2. convert the base 3. convert to negative --- > How do I convert the signed base 2 number 111000 to base 10? The first bit is a 1, since this is signed, it indicates a negative number. Perform twos complement to make it positive: First flip each bit: 111000 becomes 000111 Then add 1: 000111 + 1 becomes 0001000 Then we convert the positive number to decimal, since there is a 1 in the 4th bit from the right (counting starts at zero), so we do: 2^4 = 16 (base 10) And since the number was negative, it becomes -16 The reason we start at zero, is because 0001 (base [cont.]

How to find the height and base of a triangle with the total area?
Q. Okay so my teacher asked me to solve this problem: Determine a possible height and base for a triangle with an area of 36 square inches. How do I find the height and base if the formula is 1 divided by 2 x height and base? Any possible suggestions on how to solve?
Asked by * y g * - Mon Nov 9 08:26:35 2009 - - 7 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Hi, there are more than one possible answers for this: The area of a triangle is: 0.5 x b x h So: 0.5 x b x h = 36 square inches Multiply both sides of the equation by 2 to get rid of the 0.5 b x h = 72 square inches Now any combination of b and h that equals 72 are good answers: b = 9 h = 8 b = 12 h = 6 b = 18 h = 4 Etc.

How do you find concentration of a weak base in titration if not given volume?
Q. You're trying to neutralize a strong acid like HCl with a weak base, and given the concentration of the acid. You're also given the pKa of both the acid and the base, and asked to find the concentration of weak base needed to reach the end point of titration. How can you go about solving this when you aren't given any volumes?
Asked by Kyle M - Sun Nov 15 10:49:12 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. pKa is a function of concentration, and concentration is a function of volume.
