A color photograph taken with a digital camera is converted into digital format using 4×10^0 bits per pixel. The camera has taken 2.2×10^6 photographs.
To convert a color photograph into digital format, we need to consider the number of bits per pixel and the total number of photographs taken by the camera.
In this case, we are given that the camera uses 4×10^0 bits per pixel. Since anything raised to the power of 0 is equal to 1, we can simplify this to 4 bits per pixel.
Now, we need to multiply the number of bits per pixel by the total number of photographs taken by the camera. The camera has taken 2.2×10^6 photographs.
So, the total number of bits required to convert all the photographs into digital format is:
4 bits/pixel × 2.2×10^6 photographs = 8.8×10^6 bits
To make it easier to understand, let's convert this into a more common unit of measurement, such as megabytes (MB).
1 byte is equal to 8 bits, and 1 megabyte is equal to 1,000,000 bytes. Therefore, we can convert the number of bits into megabytes:
8.8×10^6 bits ÷ 8 bits/byte ÷ 1,000,000 bytes/MB = 1.1 MB
So, the total size of the digital format for all the photographs taken with the camera is approximately 1.1 megabytes.
