Let P(n) be "a postage of n cents can be formed using 5-cent and 17-cent stamps if n is greater than 63".Basis step: P(64) is true since 64 cents postage can be formed with one 5-cent and one 17-cent stamp.Inductive step: Assume that P(n) is true, that is, postage of n cents can be formed using 5-cent and 17-cent stamps. We will show how to form postage of n + 1 cents. By the inductive hypothesis postage of n cents can be formed using 5-cent and 17-cent stamps. If this included a 17-cent stamp, replace this 17-cent stamp with two 5-cent stamps to obtain n + 1 cents postage. Otherwise, only 5-cent stamps were used and n  65. Hence there are at least three 5-cent stamps forming n cents. Remove three of these 5-cent stamps and replace them with two 17-cent stamps to obtain n + 1 cents postage.Hence P(n + 1) is true.

The program is correct: at the beginning, product = 0. Then, we start summing Y to that variable, and we sum Y exactly X times, because with each iteration we increase Count by 1, and check if Count=X so that we can exit the loop.

MakcuM [25]

A network administrator notices that some newly installed Ethernet cabling is carrying corrupt and distorted data signals. The new cabling was installed in the ceiling close to fluorescent lights and electrical equipment

Two factors may interfere with the copper cabling and result in signal distortion and data corruption are :

EMI

RFI

Explanation:

  • EMI (electromagnetic interference) is the disruption of operation of an electronic device when it is in the vicinity of an electromagnetic field (EM field) in the radio frequency (RF) spectrum that is caused by another electronic device.
  • During EMC testing, radiated emissions measurements are made using a spectrum analyzer and or an EMI receiver and a suitable measuring antenna.
  • EMI (Electromagnetic Interference) is also called RFI (Radio Frequency Interference).
  • Conducted RFI is unwanted high frequencies that ride on the AC wave form. Radiated RFI is emitted through the air. There are many pieces of equipment that can generate RFI, variable frequency drives included.
  • The internal circuits of personal computers generate EM fields in the RF range.
