Operating System (OS) is the answer.

An application runs in/on an OS. It is not the OS itself. Like Word or Chrome are applications.

Systems is too generic and not specific enough to mean anything in this context. Throw away answer.

Network Operating System does not 'usually' run on a hard drive but on memory chips in things like routers, wireless access points and switches that move network traffic.

How to the inverse function of f(x)=x2 +1 ,x>o

Sindrei [870]

f(x) = x² + 1, x > 0
y = x² + 1

What does ‘‘negotiation’’ mean when discussing network protocols? give an example?

rewona [7]

Some protocols have multiple algorithms to choose from for e.g., cryptographic purposes. During connection set up, client and server negotiate which one they'll use.

One example is the set up of a TLS connection. During the handshake, the client shares a list of its supported ciphers (the 'ciphersuites'). The server responds by indicating the best one that both sides support.
