Explanation:

A boot sector is the sector of a persistent data storage device which contains machine code to be loaded into random-access memory and then executed by a computer system's built-in firmware.

Which of the following function declarations correctly expect an array as the first argument?
NARA [144]

Answer:

Only

Option: void f1(float array[], int size);

is valid.

Explanation:

To pass an array as argument in a function, the syntax should be as follows:

functionName (type arrayName[ ] )

We can't place the size of the array inside the array bracket (arrayName[100]) as this will give a syntax error. The empty bracket [] is required to tell the program that the value that passed as the argument is an array and differentiate it from other type of value.

In addition to avoidance and adaptation, two other means of risk reduction available to managers are ________ and ________. A. q
MrRissso [65]

Answer:

(b). dependency and hedging.

Explanation:

In the management of risk, four common approaches for reducing risk are;

i. <em>Avoidance</em>: Especially if a risk involved in the management of a resource (or project) poses or presents a negative consequence, the best way to manage the risk simply avoid it by making sure it doesn't happen. This can be by cancelling a project or restructuring it.

ii. <em>Adaptation</em>: Another way of managing the risk associated with a resource (human or non-human resource) is to control the risk either by increasing resilience or reducing vulnerability. This is called adaptation.

iii. <em>Dependency: </em>This means accepting the risk since every project or business has inherently in it some risk associated. Dealing with it might be a way out especially knowing that there might be some experience to be gained in order to tackle similar situation in the future.

iv. <em>Hedging: </em>This means transferring the risk to some other business or organization. An example might be to get an insurance to manage this risk. In this case, the risk is transferred to the insurance company.

Why does the position of drawCircle(x, y, r) in the answer choices matter?
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

B and C

Explanation:

xPos and yPos determine the center of the circle, and rad determines the radius of the circle drawn.

It cannot be A because it starts drawing a circle with the center of (4, 1). None of the circles ahve a center at (4, 1). It is B because while it does start at (4, 1), the repeat function adds one to the y and radius. While ti repeats 3 times it ends up drawing all 3 circles. C also works because it starts by drawing the biggest circle and then subtracting the values to make the other two. It cannot be D because in the repeat function it subtracts from the y value and radius too early, it doesn't draw the biggest circle.

Within MethodsPractice.java, write a method public static int planParty2(int f, int c, int p) that performs the same calculation
Vesna [10]

Answer:

// class definition of MethodPractice

public class MethodPractice {

   // main method that begin program execution

   public static void main(String args[]) {

       // call to the planParty2 method is done using some parameter

       // and the return value is displayed

     System.out.println("The number of p-packs needed is: " + planParty2(9, 14, 6));

     System.out.println("The number of p-packs needed is: " + planParty2(4, 6, 3));

     System.out.println("The number of p-packs needed is: " + planParty2(4, 6, 4));

   }

   

   // planParty2 method with 3 parameters and it return an integer

   // the calculation needed to get the required pack is done here

   public static int planParty2(int f, int c, int p){

       // the party owner is added to list of friend

       // and the value is assigned to totalPeople

       int totalPeople = f + 1;

       // the totalPeople times the can drink

       // is assigned to totalDrinkNeeded

       int totalDrinkNeeded = totalPeople * c;

       // number of packs required is declared

       int numberOfPacks;

       // if the totalDrinkNeeded contains exact multiple of a pack

       // we return the numberOfPack by dividing totalDrinkNeeded with p

       if (totalDrinkNeeded % p == 0){

           return numberOfPacks = totalDrinkNeeded / p;

       }

       // else we compute if the totalDrinkNeeded is not a multiple of a pack

       //  first we get the remainder when the totalDrinkNeeded is divided with p

       // then the needed can is computed by subtracting remainder from p

       // the neededCan is added to totalDrinkNeeded, then divided with p

       // and assigned to numberOfPacks

       // numberOfPacks is returned.

       else {

           int remainder = totalDrinkNeeded % p;

           int neededCan = p - remainder;

           numberOfPacks = (totalDrinkNeeded + neededCan) / p;

           return numberOfPacks;

       }

   }

}

Image showing the detailed question is attached.

The program is written in Java and is well commented. A sample image of program output when it is executed is attached.
