✅ Given Information:

An 8-bit number in 2's complement form can represent values from \(-2^{n-1}\) to \(2^{n-1} - 1\).

✅ Step 1: Calculate the smallest integer:

Smallest value = \(-2^{8-1} = -2^7 = -128\)

✅ Final Answer:

The smallest integer that can be represented by an 8-bit number in 2's complement form is: -128
