### A good answer might be:

No. A biased exponent of all zeros requires that the manissa be all zeros.

# Example Program: Polynomial Evaluation

The example program computes the value of `ax2 + bx + c`. It starts by asking the user for `x`:

            .text
            .globl main

    main:   # read input
            la      $a0,prompt          # prompt user for x
            li      $v0,4               # print string
            syscall

            li      $v0,6               # read single
            syscall                     # $f0 <-- x

            # evaluate the quadratic
            . . . . .

            .data
            . . . . .
    prompt: .asciiz "Enter x: "

After the `syscall` the floating point value from the user is in `$f0`. The next section of the program does the calculation.

### QUESTION 16:

Should `a`, `b`, and `c` be integer constants or floating point constants?
