Daniel Bowden PT1420 Intro to Computer Programming 6/25/14 Unit 1 Research Assignment 1 Exploring Computer Languages A program does nothing more than tell the computer how to accept some type of input, manipulate that input, and spit it back out again in some form that humans find useful. Table 1 lists some common types of programs, the types of input that they accept, and the output that they produce. Machine language is a set of instructions executed directly by a computer's central processing unit (CPU). Each instruction performs a very specific task. Every program directly executed by a CPU is made up of a series of such instructions.
Wow, I am glad we use the shorter version of π =3.14 to solve our math problems but what is π really used for in today’s world? The obvious answer is π is used in almost every branch of math. If you want to find the circumference of a circle, the surface area of a cylinder, the area of a sector of a circle, any measurement of a circle, cylinder, or sphere it involves π since π was used to make the circle. So with that in mind, I thought I had a good handle on where π is used in the real world today. It is used by architects, contractors, draftsmen, building and bridge designers, engineers, or just about any job that uses shapes.
They began to do test on whether or not the microprocessor was flawed. “Using spreadsheet software, the user was able to take the number 4,195,835, multiply it by 3,145,727, and then divide that result by 3,145,727. As we all know from elementary math, when a number is multiplied and then divided by the same number, the result should be the original number. In this example, the result should be 4,195,835. However with the flaw, the result of the calculation was 4,195,579” (Crothers, 1994).
The first section in the book is about factors and multiples. In this section McKellar discusses prime numbers and prime factorization. She covers the definition of a factor, a prime number, and a prime factor. She also shows two techniques for factoring factor trees and EZ divisibility tricks. EZ divisibility tricks were something that was new to me so, I was really interested in them they are ways to test numbers to see what their factors may be.
The assignment must include (a) all math work required to answer the problems as well as (b) introduction and conclusion paragraphs. Your introduction should include three to five sentences of general information about the topic at hand. The body must contain a restatement of the problems and all math work, including the steps and formulas used to solve the problems. Your conclusion must comprise a summary of the problems and the reason you selected a particular method to solve them. It would also be appropriate to include a statement as to what you learned and how you will apply the knowledge gained in this exercise to real-world situations.
I have many memories, from when I was younger, of saving up my pennies and being excited about them. It is not common in today’s society for that to happen. In the essay, Lauren describes memories from his past, when he used to put his pennies to use by walking down to the candy store. Just like Lauren, when I was younger, I used to save up my money for things that I want to buy, “ With this change I could get at least some rope licorice,”(Lauren 195). We used to have a bank that I would put the money that I collected into every week at school.
Sarah Whelan, Danielle Zahren, Blake Ulrich AP Physics 11-2 Mr. Shoppe 6 September 2014 Density of a Solid Objectives: The purpose of this lab was to practice measuring, graphing, and calculating with proper significant digits. Also, we conducted this experiment to determine the density of an unknown object, graphically. Background: Prior to completing this experiment, I knew that density was defined as the degree of compactness of an object. I also knew that density was measured inmassvolume. Therefore, I knew that the unit of density was gmL or gcm3.
