Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -A floating-point number is said to be normalized if the most significant digit of the mantissa is 1. So, actual number is (-1)s(1+m)x2(e-Bias), where s is the sign bit, m is the mantissa, e is the exponent value, and Bias is the bias number.
Detailed explanation-2: -A negative mantissa is in general stored in two’s complement form, but exponents are always stored in biased from. Remember that an n-bit exponent allows you to represent 2n possible unsigned exponent values from 0 to 2n-1.
