Question

If log x =1/2(1.38) then mantissa is

Answer 1

Mantissa :

Explanation:

• The mantissa is the significand is part of a number in scientific notation or a floating-point number, consisting of its significant digits.

• Depending on the interpretation of the exponent, the significand could represent an integer or a fraction.

• In decimal, very large numbers can be shown with a mantissa and an exponent the mantissa holds the main digits and the exponents define where the decimal point should be placed.

e.g.

Given that, log x = $\displaystyle \frac{1}{2(1.38)}$

In decimal given no is 4.8977

The mantissa of decimal no 4.8977 is 00111001011100111110101.

∴ The mantissa of log x =1/2(1.38) is 00111001011100111110101.
