Given Solution: In base 10, 3 * 4^2 + 2 * 4^1 + 1 * 4^0 = 3 * 16 + 2 * 4 + 1 * 1 = 48 + 8 + 1 = 57. STUDENT COMMENT: I am not understanding this. INSTRUCTOR RESPONSE statement 1: 321{base 4} means 3 * 4^2 + 2 * 4^1 + 1 * 4^0. statement 2: 3 * 4^2 + 2 * 4^1 + 1 * 4^0 = 57. What is it you do and do not understand about the above two statements? &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Self-critique (if necessary): ok ------------------------------------------------ Self-critique rating #$&* ********************************************* Question: `q002.

Given Solution: 213{base 4} means 2 * 4^2 + 1 * 4^1 + 3 * 4^0 = 2 * 16 + 1 * 4 + 3 * 1 = 32 + 4 + 3 = 39. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Self-critique (if necessary): ok ------------------------------------------------ Self-critique rating #$&* ********************************************* Question: `q003. Suppose we had a number expressed in the form 6 * 4^2 + 7 * 4^1 + 3 * 4^0. This number isn't quite in the form needs to be if it is to be expressed in base 4. This is because we have the numbers 6 and 5, which exceed 4. How would this number be expressed without using any numbers 4 or greater? YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Your solution: 1 * 4^3 + 3 * 4^2 + 3 * 4^1 + 3 * 4^0 confidence rating #$&* 3 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
.............................................
Given Solution: 7 = 4 + 3 so 7 * 4^1 can be written as 4 * 4^1 + 3 * 4^1 = 4^2 + 3 * 4^1 Since 6 = 4 + 2, we have 6 * 4^2 = 4 * 4^2 + 2 * 4^2. Since 4 * 4^2 = 4^3, this is 4^3 + 2 * 4^2. Thus 6 * 4^2 + 7 * 4^1 + 3 * 4^1 = (4 * 4^2 + 2 * 4^2) + (4 * 4^1 + 3 * 4^1) + 3 * 4^0 =4^3 + 2 * 4^2 + 4^2 + 3 * 4^1 + 3 * 4^0 = 1 * 4^3 + 3 * 4^2 + 3 * 4^1 + 3 * 4^0. This number would then be 1333 {base 4}. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Self-critique (if necessary): ok ------------------------------------------------ Self-critique rating #$&* ********************************************* Question: `q004.

Given Solution: Since 1 = 1 * 4^0, Adding one to 1 * 4^3 + 3 * 4^2 + 3 * 4^1 + 3 * 4^0 would give us 1 * 4^3 + 3 * 4^2 + 3 * 4^1 + 3 * 4^0 + 1 * 4^0 = 1 * 4^3 + 3 * 4^2 + 3 * 4^1 + 4 * 4^0. But 4 * 4^0 = 4^1, so we would have 1 * 4^3 + 3 * 4^2 + 3 * 4^1 + 1 * 4^1 + 0 * 4^0 = 1 * 4^3 + 3 * 4^2 + 4 * 4^1 + 0 * 4^0 . But 4 * 4^1 = 4^2, so we would have 1 * 4^3 + 3 * 4^2 + 1 * 4^2 + 0 * 4^1 + 0 * 4^0 = 1 * 4^3 + 4 * 4^2 + 0 * 4^1 + 0 * 4^0 . But 4 * 4^2 = 4^3, so we would have 1 * 4^3 + 1 * 4^3 + 0 * 4^2 + 0 * 4^1 + 0 * 4^0 = 2 * 4^3 + 0 * 4^2 + 0 * 4^1 + 0 * 4^0. We thus have the number 2000{base 4}. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Self-critique (if necessary): Got it I just didn’t know where to start on this one now I do ------------------------------------------------ Self-critique rating #$&* ********************************************* Question: `q005. How would the decimal number 659 be expressed in base 4? YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Your solution: 2 * 4^4 + 2 * 4^3 + 1 * 4^2 + 0 * 4^1 + 3 * 4^0 confidence rating #$&* 3 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
.............................................
Given Solution: We need to express 659 in terms of multiples powers of 4, with the multiple not exceeding 3. The powers of 4 are 4^0 = 4, 4^1 = 4, 4^2 = 16, 4^3 = 64, 4^4 = 256, 4^5 = 1024. We could continue to higher powers of 4, but since 4^5 = 1024 already exceeds 659 we need not do any further. The highest power of 4 that doesn't exceed 659 is 4^4 = 256. So we will use the highest multiple of 256 that doesn't exceed 659. 2 * 256 = 512, and 3 * 256 exceeds 659, so we will use 2 * 256 = 2 * 4^4. This takes care of 512 of the 659, leaving us 147 to account for using lower powers of 4. We then account for as much of the remaining 147 using the next-lower power 4^3 = 64. Since 2 * 64 = 128 is less than 147 while 3 * 64 is greater than 147, we use 2 * 64 = 2 * 4^3. This accounts for 128 of the remaining 147, which now leaves us 19. The next-lower power of 4 is 4^2 = 16. We can use one 16 but not more, so we use 1 * 16 = 1 * 4^2. This will account for 16 of the remaining 19, leaving us 3. This 3 is accounted for by 3 * 4^0 = 3 * 1. Note that we didn't need 4^1 at all. So we see that 659 = 2 * 4^4 + 2 * 4^3 + 1 * 4^2 + 0 * 4^1 + 3 * 4^0. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Self-critique (if necessary): ok ------------------------------------------------ Self-critique rating #$&* "
