25 True or False 2 points The binary number system uses only two symbols -the digits O and 1-to represent all possible numbers. True False

## The binary number system, also known as the base-2 number system, is a method of representing numbers that uses only two symbols: 0 and 1. This is in contrast to the decimal system, which uses ten symbols (0 through 9). <br />## In the binary system, each digit represents a power of 2, starting from the rightmost digit which represents \(2^0\) (or 1), and moving to the left where each digit represents the next power of 2. For example, the binary number 1011 represents the decimal number \(1*2^3 + 0*2^2 + 1*2^1 + 1*2^0 = 8 + 0 + 2 + 1 = 11\).<br />## Therefore, the statement that the binary number system uses only two symbols - the digits 0 and 1 - to represent all possible numbers is true.
