Find one integer that cannot be represented in 24-bit 2’s complement notation?

The square root of 1 cannot be converted in 24-bit 2’s
Value of square root of -1 is 1i which is not a decimal a number. Hence we cannot convert into floating point format

0 11111111 00000000000000000000000 floating point number that cannot be represented in IEEE 32-bit format
The values of 0 11111111 00000000000000000000000 = Infinity. Hence it cannot be represented
