How many memory locations can 14 address bits access? A. 16,384 B. 8,192 C. 4096 D. 14 E. None of the above

16,384
8,192
4096
14 E. None of the above

The correct answer is A. 16,384.

Each address bit can represent two possible values, 0

288 64 288 64S117.2 64 74.6 75.5c-23.5 6.3-42 24.9-48.3 48.6-11.4 42.9-11.4 132.3-11.4 132.3s0 89.4 11.4 132.3c6.3 23.7 24.8 41.5 48.3 47.8C117.2 448 288 448 288 448s170.8 0 213.4-11.5c23.5-6.3 42-24.2 48.3-47.8 11.4-42.9 11.4-132.3 11.4-132.3s0-89.4-11.4-132.3zm-317.5 213.5V175.2l142.7 81.2-142.7 81.2z"/> Subscribe on YouTube
or 1. So, 14 address bits can represent 2^14 = 16,384 possible values. This means that a memory with 14 address bits can store 16,384 different values.

Option B is incorrect because 2^13 = 8,192. Option C is incorrect because 2^12 = 4,096. Option D is incorrect because 14 is not a power of 2. Option E is incorrect because 16,384 is a valid answer to the question.
