Question

For inputs with this property, the binary output of the x86 assembly language command “movsx” (“move-S-X”) contains more ones than the input. In offset binary with biasing value K, the least K possible values correspond to variables with this property. “Binary” formats specified by the IEEE (“I-triple-E”) 754 standard have bits whose activation specify the exponent, significand, and this property. (20[1]0[1])For a binary word whose (*) MSB is zero, (0[1])inverting bits and then incrementing yields (10[1])a variable with this property in two’s complement. (10[2])The first bit (10[1])equals (10[1])one for floats with this property. (10[5])Unsigned integers (0[1])can assume (0[1])twice as many values (10[1])because they do not account for numbers (10[1])with this property. (10[2]0[1])For 10 points, name (0[1])these numbers (10[2])displayed with a minus sign. (10[7])■END■ (10[11])

ANSWER: negative [accept negative numbers or negative integers or negative floats or negative floating-point values; prompt on sign or signed numbers or signed integers or signed floats or signed floating-point values before “complement” is read]
