Show that a two’s-complement number can be converted to a representation with more bits by sign extension. That is, given an n-bit two’s-complement number X, show that the m-bit two’s-complement representation of X, where m > n, can be obtained by appending mn copies of X’s sign bit to the left of the n-bit representation of X.
