Question: `q001. There are 5 questions in this set.

The preceding calculations have been done in our standard base-10 place value system. We can do similar calculations with bases other than 10.

For example, a base-4 calculation might involve the number 3 * 4^2 + 2 * 4^1 + 1 * 4^0. This number will be expressed as 321{base 4}.

What would this number be in base 10?

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your solution:

3*10^2 + 2 * 10 ^ 1 + 1 * 10 ^ 0 this number would be expressed 321 { base 10 }

Why is the 4 still the base when it is written in base 10 form???

*********************************************

Question: `q002. What would the number 213{base 4} be in base 10 notation?

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your solution:

213{base 4} means 2 * 4^2 + 1 * 4^1 + 3 * 4^0

213 {base 10} 2 * 16 + 1 * 4 + 3 * 1 = 32 + 4 + 3 = 39

Ok

*********************************************

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

3

Ok

*********************************************

Question: `q004. What would happen to the number 1333{base 4} if we added 1?

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your solution:

It would be 11333 {base 4}

3

Explain how having another 4^1 would change the entire answer

*********************************************

Question: `q005. How would the decimal number 659 be expressed in base 4?

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your solution:

659 = 2 * 4^4 + 2 * 4^3 + 1 * 4^2 + 0 * 4^1 + 3 * 4^0.

&#I need to see the questions so I can be sure what your answers mean. Most of the time I can tell, but I'm dealing with information that comes in from over 1000 different files, containing a total of about 10 000 questions. While I'm familiar with the content and sequencing of the questions, having written them all, and know what I'm looking for, different students will answer these questions in different ways and I need to be able to relate your answers to the specific wording of each question. When reviewing my responses you will also need to be able to relate your answers and my comments to the specifics of the original document.

So it will be important for you on future documents to insert your responses into a copy of the original document, according to instructions, without otherwise changing any of the content of the original document. This will ensure you of the best possible feedback on your work. &#
