Write a C function hwkThree, that takes an unsigned integer variable. The variable will contain the encoding for a single precision floating point value in normalized form. Your code should take this value, isolate the biased exponent field, subtract the bias, and return the unbiased exponent of the value. Here is the expected function declaration:int hwkThree(unsigned value);

An external consultant recommends that a plant installs a bank of capacitors for power factor correction. this will reduce the peak electrical demand charges by an average of 93 kw every month. the plant current pays $13 per kw in peak demand charges. the capacitor bank will include 223 kw of fixed capacitors, and 183 of variable capacitors. the fixed capacitors cost $59 per kw, and the variable capacitors will cost $65 per kw. the consultant charges 21% of the equipment costs to install the capacitors. because this project will reduce the demand for the electric utility, they are prepared to provide a one-time rebate of $42 per kw of reduced demand. what is the simple payback period for this project (in years)?
