    (30 pts) In addition to the default IEEE double-precision format (8 byte 64 bits) to store floating-point numbers, MATLAB can also store the numbers in single-precision format (4 bytes, 32 bits). Each value is stored in 4 bytes with 1 bit for the sign, 23 bits for the mantissa, and 8 bits for the signed exponent: Sign Signed exponent Mantissa 23 bits L bit 8 bits Determine the smallest positive value (expressed in base-10 number) that can be represented using...
