Which of the following processors can perform exponential, logarithmic and trigonometric functions?(a) 8086(b) 8087(c) 8080(d) 8088The question was posed to me in semester exam.This key question is from Coprocessor of Intel in section Embedded Processors of Embedded Systems

Answer»

The CORRECT answer is (b) 8087

To explain I WOULD say: 8087 is a coprocessor which can perform all the mathematical functions INCLUDING addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, EXPONENTIAL, logarithmic, trigonometric etc. 8086, 8080 and 8088 are microprocessors which require the help of a coprocessor for floating point arithmetic.
