1. As you know, each MIPS register or memory word contains 32 bits. The meaning of the bit pattern is determined by how it is interpreted and used by the hardware machine instructions. Constants in assembly language instructions are interpreted as negative only if a minus sign appears in front of the constant. If a plus sign (or no sign) is in front of the constant, the assembler interprets the number as positive. This is the case whether the constant is decimal (base-10) or is hexadecimal (base-16). a) (3) Write down the decimal equivalent of the negative hexadecimal integer: -0x9116 b) (3) Write down the hexadecimal equivalent of the positive decimal integer: 51902. c)(3) Write down the hexadecimal equivalent of the negative decimal integer: -13634.
