Answer:

0_10 =0_2

Explanation:

Convert the following to base 2:

0_10

Hint: | Starting with zero, raise 2 to increasingly larger integer powers until the result exceeds 0.

Determine the powers of 2 that will be used as the places of the digits in the base-2 representation of 0:

Power | \!\(\*SuperscriptBox[\(Base\), \(Power\)]\) | Place value

0 | 2^0 | 1

Hint: | The powers of 2 (in ascending order) are associated with the places from right to left.

Label each place of the base-2 representation of 0 with the appropriate power of 2:

Place | | | 2^0 |

| | | ↓ |

0_10 | = | ( | __ | )_(_2)

Hint: | Divide 0 by 2 and find the remainder. The remainder is the first digit.

Determine the value of 0 in base 2:

0/2=0 with remainder 0

Place | | | 2^0 |

| | | ↓ |

0_10 | = | ( | 0 | )_(_2)

Hint: | Express 0_10 in base 2.

The number 0_10 is equivalent to 0_2 in base 2.

Answer: 0_10 =0_2
