Answer:

d. 2.3 ohms (5.3 amperes)

Explanation:

The calculator's 1/x key makes it convenient to calculate parallel resistance.

Req = 1/(1/4 +1/8 +1/16) = 1/(7/16) = 16/7 ≈ 2.3 ohms

This corresponds to answer choice D.

Additional comment

This problem statement does not tell the applied voltage. The answer choices suggest that it is 12 V. If so, the current is 12/(16/7) = 21/4 = 5.25 amperes.

A program contains the following function definition: int cube(int number) { return number * number * number; } Write a stateme

Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

The statement can be written as

int result = cube(4);

Explanation:

A function is a block of reusable codes to perform some tasks. For example, the function in the question is to calculate the cube of a number.

A function can also operate on one or more input value (argument) and return a result. The cube function in the question accept one input value through its parameter number and the number will be multiplied by itself twice and return the result.

To call a function, just simply write the function name followed with parenthesis (e.g. cube()). Within the parenthesis, we can include zero or one or more than one values as argument(s) (e.g. cube(4)).

We can then use the "=" operator to assign the return output of the function to a variable (e.g. int result = cube(4))

What is differences Between hard shoulder & soft shoulder in civil Engineerin?

r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

The 'shoulder' of a road is the land to the edge of the road. On most roads without pavements, the shoulder is a strip of grass or a hedgerow. This is known as a 'soft shoulder'. On a motorway, this strip of land is hardstanding, hence the name 'hard shoulder.'
