Answer:

C. Appliance.

Explanation:

When a device or machine performs a single function or task, it is commonly referred to as an appliance. Examples of such is an iron, a calculator, a computer game, washing machines, refrigerators, e.t.c

<em>A Personal Digital Assistant (PDA)</em>, is a device, mostly mobile and handheld, that combines various computing features such as telephoning and networking. An example is a tablet. A PDA performs more than a single function.

<em>Minicomputer</em> is a computer usually small in physical size, that is midway in capabilities and support, between a microcomputer and a mainframe computer. An example is also a tablet and our smartphones. Minicomputers are also dedicated to various functions rather than a single function.

In summary, the option that best describes the situation in the question is an appliance.

<em>Hope this helps!</em>

Write the definition of a function typing_speed, that receives two parameters. The first is the number of words that a person ha
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

The definition of function is as follows:

def typing_speed(number_of_words,Time_Interval):

number_of_words>=0  

Time_Interval>0

speed=float(60*number_of_words/Time_Interval)

return speed

Explanation:

Above function is defined step-by-step as follows:

        def typing_speed(number_of_words,Time_Interval):

  • A function named typing speed has two arguments, num_of_words and Time_Interval.

                             number_of_words>=0  

                             Time_Interval>0

  • The variable number_of_words is the number of words entered that a person enters, they must be greater than or equal to 0. Where as Time_Interval is the variable for counting the time span in seconds, it must be greater than 0.

                    speed=float(60*number_of_words/Time_Interval)

                    return speed

  • For determining result firstly the seconds are converted int minutes by multiplying with 60 and number_of_words is divided with Time_Interval in order to get words per minute. The return value will give speed which has data type float.

Research and describe a recent development in theater and film lighting and explain how the technology can be used. (Maybe limit
Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

A computerized light dimmer is one helpful development in lighting equipment. Computerized light dimmers help to control the brightness of light. These dimmers lower or increase the intensity of light. I first noticed light dimmers in a scene from the movie Children of Men. In a war scene, innocent people are shown running helter-skelter to save their lives. Artificial lights are used in scene to create that dark appearance in broad daylight, which makes the scene look gloomy and scary. It helped to generate the feeling of uncertainty and suspense through the proper use of lights. Light dimmers help light designers to create the exact atmosphere that the director demands for a scene. Also, because of dimmers, a light designer need not use extra accessories to diffuse light or make the scene brighter.

This is Plato's sample answer so take pieces out.

Computers help eliminate the repetitiveness of manual task how can this benefit you in your overall career?
rjkz [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

When I went to high school, our next door neighbor had a pet dinosaur. We used to have to do math problems that were incredibly long and tedious. Things like the gas laws. They involve 5 numbers with 2 decimal places and we were asked to find the 6th number.

Eventually we were taught to use log tables but by then we were too numb to care.

Computers however take repetitiveness in their stride. They don't gag at how many times they have to repeat an operation. They don't mind if they do it a thousand times or a million or 100 million times. Some algorithms like the Monte Carlo method depend on trying an operation a million times. Humans would go crazy if they had to do that. Computers can do simple algorithms a million times while the mouse is on the go command.

If you pick a job like a tax consultant, you will be glad not to do any more than knowing where the numbers that make up your data go.

Same with banks and insurance jobs. I'll bet there are many jobs in medicine that require repetitive calculations.

What two benefits are a result of configuring a wireless mesh network? Check all that apply.
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

1)PERFORMANCE

2)RANGE

Explanation:

A mesh network can be regarded as local network topology whereby infrastructure nodes connect dynamically and directly, with other different nodes ,cooperate with one another so that data can be efficiently route from/to clients. It could be a Wireless mesh network or wired one.

Wireless mesh network, utilize

only one node which is physically wired to a network connection such as DSL internet modem. Then the one wired node will now be responsible for sharing of its internet connection in wireless firm with all other nodes arround the vicinity. Then the nodes will now share the connection in wireless firm to nodes which are closest to them, and with this wireless connection wide range of area can be convered which is one advantage of wireless mesh network, other one is performance, wireless has greater performance than wired one.

Some of the benefits derived from configuring a wireless mesh network is

1)PERFORMANCE

2)RANGE
