There are multiple schemes that can be used to represent integers in binary, including 1. Assuming that we use 12 bits to represent a number in two's complement scheme, answer the following questions: (a) What are the largest and smallest integers that can be represented? (b) How many different values can be represented? (c) How to represent 2710? (d) How to represent -4510 if supported?
