If a 512x512 pixel image uses 12 bits per pixel, what is the information content stored in the computer?

To determine the information content stored in a 512x512 pixel image using 12 bits per pixel, you start by calculating the total number of pixels in the image. This is achieved by multiplying the width by the height, which results in 512 pixels multiplied by 512 pixels, yielding a total of 262,144 pixels.

Next, since each pixel in the image uses 12 bits to represent its color or intensity, you need to multiply the total number of pixels by the number of bits per pixel. This calculation is as follows: 262,144 pixels multiplied by 12 bits per pixel results in 3,145,728 bits.

Therefore, the correct way to express the information content stored in the image is by multiplying the number of pixels (512x512) by the number of bits per pixel (12). This yields the total number of bits which represents the information stored in the computer for that image.
