...Relationships and Patterns of Fractions: * Identify at least five relationships, and clearly describe each one. 1. Numbers involved in both the addition and subtraction of fractions need to have a common denominator in order to be solved, having the smallest common denominator will make the addition and subtraction easier since you would be working with smaller numbers. Example: 2/4 + 3/8, you could multiply the denominators and get 32 or just have 8 as the common denominator either way the final answer have to be the same. 2. Relationship Two: Fractions that are multiplied result in a larger fraction that all too often must be reduced to its smallest form. For example: if you multiply 2/5 by 5/6 it will equal to 10/30, in this case you must simplify it will equal to 1/3. 3. Relationship Three: The division of fractions normally results in an improper fraction this number must then be turned into a mixed number in order to be properly graphed. Example: (2/3)/ (5/8) =16/15, this means there is 1 entire thing plus 1/15 of the thing. 4. Relationship Four: It is easier to divide fractions by charting the solution in order to determine whether or not the solution is correct. Example: (3/5)/ (2/3) = 9/10 5. Relationship Five: Regardless of the size of the denominator the numerator remains small and proportional to the denominator. Example: 15/6 is an improper fraction because the denominator have to be bigger than the numerator. 15/6 is 2½. 6....

A recommendation for a student going to college based on the above table would be the ASUS notebook. I would recommend this based on a number of things. The first and foremost being the low price point for a notebook. I recommend a notebook over a desktop for a student because of its mobility. A student could take it to the library, to class, to study partners’ homes, coffee shops, etc. For the price a student would get all the necessary functionality out of it. The storage space is on the lower side. However 500GB is plenty of space to store Microsoft Office documents, including PowerPoint presentations, through the lifetime of his or her college career.

...A port expander is a hardware device that will allow users to utilize multiple devices on a single port at the same time. It is the same principle as using a power strip for the power in a home or a splitter for the cable. For example, if you only have 1 Universal Serial Bus (USB) port, yet you have a USB mouse and keyboard, then you can use a USB port expander to allow one port slot to become multiple ports and plug in the mouse and keyboard. Allowing multiple devices to be able to connect to a single port is a major advantage to port expanders. However, one of the biggest drawbacks is that the speed of that port is now divided throughout all the expansion ports, an example being a 3Gbps port expanded to accommodate 4 ports will now have to split that 3Gbps between all 4 ports and not 3Gbps per expansion slot. There are two types of port expanders: internal and external. An internal port expander will usually connect to the motherboard and have an expansion plate with multiple ports along the box of the computer. An external port expander will plug into an existing port (such as a USB) and will then have multiple connections off of the port expander. Port expanders are also very generic and will allow expansion on just about any computer. There are many ports available that come with port expansion hardware. Some examples are, but are not limited to, USB Port Expander Hardware, Microphone Port Expander Hardware, FireWire Port Expander Hardware, Serial Port Expander...

...Fredrick Donaldson Nov.5, 2014 NT1110 Unit 5 Assignment 1 Video Summary 3 CPUs In today’s market there are 2 main manufacturers of CPUs: Intel and AMD. There are also some smaller competitors that manufacture CPUs, but they tend to come and go. The way a CPU is organized varies, but here are the basics: The motherboard system bus carries information into and out of the CPU. When the system bus enters the CPU, it’s called a Front side bus. The Front side bus usually uses a 64-bit wide data path. On the side of the CPU you will find a controller. A controller manages the basic functions of the CPU, and controls communication between the motherboard and other components within the CPU. These other components includes one or more ALUs and internal cache. An ALU (Arithmetic Logic Unit), is responsible for solving complex calculations. Having multiple ALUs in a single processor is what gave the early Pentiums their multi-processing capabilities. Communication between the controllers and the ALU uses a 32-bit wide internal data bus. The bus system that supports communication between the cache, the ALU, and the controllers is referred to as the backside bus. The most important thing a person needs to know about a processor is the speed at which it processes information; (CPU speed). There are several ways to gauge CPU speeds. This may sound like an advantage, but oftentimes, these multiple ways are misleading. The speeds differ inside and outside the processor. Internally...

...Unit 5 analysis 1: Pentium flaw Aaron Mancias April 16 2016 Professor Amos The CPU is a central processing unit brains of the computer aka microprocessor or processor. It executes a sequence of stored instructions called a program containing millions of transistors interconnected by smell aluminum wires (busses). They carry various signals addresses and data (3 types of data bus, address bus), control bus. The flaw was discovered in 1994, a division error in the Pentium chip by Intel. only told to people who worked inside the company and nobody else .the same month a professor of mathematics at Lynchburg college , Virginia by the name of Dr. Thomas A nicely notices a small difference in the two sets of numbers , rechecking everything he comes to the conclusion ( Pentium chip) eliminating all other causes, 5 month in total . The flaw of the chip cost the company hundreds of millions of dollars and Intel appeared as it was hiding a sinister secret. Intel’s response was very unprofessional and that’s what lead there minor problem into beings so chaotic and costworthy. Basically. DR. Thomas nicely contacted them told them about their problem. Intel duplicates the error...

...Unit 5 Analysis 1: Pentium Flaw The Intel Pentium microprocessor was introduced on March, 1993 that was hugely popular among consumers because of its cheap price and decent performance. Unfortunately, the early versions of these microprocessors had a flow within the floating point unit (also called a math coprocessor). This caused the Pentium's FPU to incorrectly divide certain floating-point numbers. Because only certain numbers divide incorrectly and Intel assumed that many users would never encounter the division error, the company decided to keep the issue quiet and fix the problem in updates to the chip. Thomas Nicely, a math professor at Lynchburg College, discovered the error however, and after sending his findings to Intel with no response, he posted his findings on the Internet, where others confirmed his theories. When Intel finally announced the bug, they originally said that they would only replace chips for users that require high-accuracy calculations, but when IBM publically refused to sell computers with faulty chips, Intel offered to replace all flawed Pentium processors. Because Intel chose to keep the flaw quiet, and because they originally refused to recall the product, they caused a great public outcry. Their mistakes also ended up costing them over $475 million and damaged their image. Intel now currently post all flaws and bugs that they find in their products in order to avoid another catastrophe like the Pentium Flaw. Other companies also take this...

...Unit 7 Research Paper 1: UEFI BIOS 1. UEFI BIOS - is a specification that defines a software interface between the operating system(s) and the platform's firmware. In the mid 90s Intel was creating a new processor architecture that was 64-bit, but wasn't backwards-compatible with the old x86. This architecture was the Itanium 64. Because the IA-64 only supports 64-bit instructions, the PC BIOS couldn't be used, therefore Intel developed the EFI specification. Later on this specification was managed (and still is) by the UEFI board, an association of several companies such as AMD, Microsoft, Intel, Apple and so on. History - UEFI is actually an extension of the original Extensible Firmware Interface developed by Intel. They developed this new hardware and software interface system when they launched the ill-fated Itanium or IA64 server processor lineup. Because of its advanced architecture and the limitations of the existing BIOS systems, they wanted to develop a new method for handing off the hardware to the operating system that would allow for greater flexibility. Because the Itanium wasn't a huge success, the EFI standards also languished for many years. In 2005, the Unified EFI Forum was established between a number of major corporations that would expand upon the original specifications developed by Intel to produce a new standard for updating the hardware and software interface. This includes companies such as AMD, Apple, Dell, HP, IBM, Intel, Lenovo and Microsoft...

...Corey Young Monday The first part of this video was talking about the history of the operating systems. The Microsoft OS were DOS that had a GUI interface, after that you had NT, 9x, 2000, XP, Vista which in my opinion was terrible, server 2003 and 2008. There are also other OS that have been out Unix and Linux is what Macintosh are built from and then you also have Mac OS X. Video 3.02 was talking about installing new hard ware, creating partitions and formatting partitions, and installing OS systems. Before you install an OS system after installing a new hard drive you need to create and format a partition which will be an c partitions. There are two types of partitions which are primary and extended. You can only create one of each with the FAT file system. The NTFS you can create four primary partitions or three primaries and one extended. In creating partitions you need to know the order they are created and deleted. The orders to create partitions are first primary then extended and logical. To delete a partition you will simple reverse the order. Video 3.03 is about comparing active, system and boot partitions. After creating partitions you need to mark one active which usually contains the boot file so you can start up the OS. The system and the boot partitions are part of this system. The system partitions contain boot files which contains the operating system which boots up the OS. The boot partition contains system files which contain the OS files. So the...
