In those, the pendulum has a mechanism which allows the hands to move forward by one gear every time it swings back and forth (google "escapement gear" if you want to know what this looks like). Hence, the 'tick' sound is when the pendulum swings one way and the 'tock' is when it swings back.

tester [92]

Answer:

a modular router

Explanation:

A modular router is a type of router that will provide multiple slots, this will enable the network engineer to either change or increase the number of space the router has.

A layer 3 switch cannot provide a WAN connectivity even though it can increase the number of ports on a router. The concept of PoE capability of any device have nothing to do with the number of ports it has. If the Engineer decides to use another fixed configuration router it will still lead to the same problem in the future because it cannot guarantee or provide the flexibility of future growth adaptation which can be given by a modular router if put in use.

There exists a data type Date with member function Increment that increments the current Date object by one. The ++ operator is

nalin [4]

Answer:

Date Date::operator++( int )

{

Date temp = *this;

Increment();

return temp;

}

Explanation:

Of options 1 through 4, only option 4 correctly implement the post increment of the ++ operator.

Interpreting each line of option for and comparing it to other options

Line 1: Date Date::operator++( int )

This declares the data type and its ++ operator

This is same for all options

Line 2: The Date type needs to be declared

In option 4, it was declared correctly as Date temp = *this; using a pointer variable *this.

Here, option 2 is removed from the list of possible options.

Comparing other options

Line 3: The member increment option needs to be declared after the declaration of the date type variable.

This is correctly declared as Increment(); in option 4

Here, option 3 is removed from the list of possible options.

Comparing other options

Line 4: The value declared variable temp needs to be returned the way it was declared (without pointer indicator)

Hence, option 4 is best appropriate

Inessa [10]

Answer:

See explanation below

Explanation:

Named ranges are a very important tool in Microsoft Excel. It is used in assigning a name to a particular number of cells. It is great for automation and makes formula much easy to understand and use.

One way to create named ranges is theory the Name Box.

To create named ranges in the design marketing sheet we do this;

1) We click on cell B8 and then navigate to the name box at the top right corner of the sheet just above the column A.

•The name box is where the cell address of any cell that is active is displayed.

•You would see that “B8” is displayed on the name box.

• Double click on the name box and type in the appropriate name, in this case - Design_Fee.

• Press enter and you have your named range.

You do the same for the other named ranges.

Note that: Named ranges must contain letters, numbers or underscore.
