a. In radix-26, write down the numeral string X for each of the following character

strings, followed by the number of “digits” (i.e., the length of the numeral string)

in each case.

i. “hex”

ii. “cipher”

iii. “not”

iv. “symbol

b. For each case of problem (a), determine the number x = NUM26(X)

c. Determine the byte form [x] for each number x computed in problem (b).

d. What is the smallest power of the radix (26) that is greater than each of the numerical strings determined in (b)?

e. Is it related to the length of the numeral string in each case, in problem (a)? If so,

what is this relationship?
