1. Algorithms A and B perform the same task. On input of size n, algorithm A executes 0.5n2 steps, and algorithm B executes 300n steps. Find the value of n above which algorithm B is more efficient. Show your work. 0.5n2 = 300n => n2 = 600n =>n (n-600) = 0 Thus n = 0 => n – 600 = 0 =>n = 600 To test which one is most effective plug in 601 in both equations A = 0.5(601)2 = 0.5(361201) = 180600.5 B = 300(601) = 180300 Thus B is the most efficient 2.

identified as the FDIV bug. The bug is a flaw in the point unit. The bug causes the processor to return incorrect results (errors) for many calculations in math and science. Intel claims that it was a problem on a few missing entries in the lookup table used by the company. The flaw was hardly faced by users. It was discovered by Professor Thomas Nicely, a professor of mathematics at Lynchburg College. He noticed the bug when a code was written and observed some irregularities in calculations once

Arrangements of electrons in the orbitals of an atom is called its electron configuration. And we use the Pauli exclusion principle and other rules to arrange the electrons. To designate the electron configuration we use the level number and the letter of the sublevel and a superscript number to represent the number of electrons contained in the sublevel. Writing the electron configuration requires that we recall how many orbitals are contained in each type of sublevel For example hydrogen with

party with the music playing with no care in the world, the air was fresh and crisp like a newly ripened apple, all of the children playing in the grass having fun, the adults sitting around the picnic table doing what they do, and in the center of it all was a table and at the center of that table was me and my uncles; Rene, Joel, Henrique.

That is at least debatable considering Lothar Meyer came up with a very similar table to Mendeleev’s. The crucial difference between these two is Dmitri’s was to get his widely published before Meyer, thus earning him the credit for developing the table. Before they were able to even assemble elements into an orderly manner, some important things had to happen first

Memory Management Requirements Memory management requirement is important to operating systems. The memory management function is to manage the computer’s primary memory storage. Since all new computers and laptops run multiple programs at any one time, it is imperative to manage what programs can run in the main memory or RAM and which programs can be swapped to secondary memory storage. Using memory management techniques and virtual memory systems process can efficiently manage an operating system
