Problem 4: (L.O.5) (10pts) Write an 80x86 assembly language program to compute:

F = 21*t3 + 45*t2 + 10*t

Assume that:

 t is stored in register EAX

 F is stored in register EBX

ASM procedure

Calc:

Problem 5: (L.O.5) (10pts) Given a function as below:

int is_Even(int n)
{
if (n < 0)
return -1;
else if (n&0x01)
return 0;
else
return 1;
}
Rewrite this function in Assembly language (assume that n is stored in EBX, the return value is stored in
EAX):

is_Even:
