Using Amdahl’s Law, calculate the speedup gain of an application that has a 60 percent parallel component for (a) two processing cores and (b) four processing cores.

Write a method named addall that could be placed inside the hashintset class. this method accepts another hashintset as a parameter and adds all elements from that set into the current set, if they are not already present. for example, if a set s1 contains [1, 2, 3] and another set s2 contains [1, 7, 3, 9], the call of s1.addall(s2); would change s1 to store [1, 2, 3, 7, 9] in some order. you are allowed to call methods on your set and/or the other set. do not modify the set passed in. this method should run in o(n) time where n is the number of elements in the parameter set passed in.

The volume v and paper surface area a of a conical paper cup are given by where r is the radius of the base of the cone and h is the height of the cone. a. by eliminating h, obtain the expression for a as a function of r and v. b. create a user-de ned function that accepts r as the only argument and computes a for a given value of v. declare v to be global within the function. c. for v ! 10 in.3 , use the function with the fminbnd function to compute the value of r that minimizes the area a. what is the corresponding value of the height h? investigate the sensitivity of the solution by plotting v versus r. how much can r vary about its optimal value before the area increases 10 percent above its minimum value?

Scientists have changed the model of the atom as they have gathered new evidence. one of the atomic models is shown below. what experimental evidence led to the development of this atomic model from the one before it? a few of the positive particles aimed at a gold foil seemed to bounce back. the colors of light emitted from heated atoms had very specific energies. experiments with water vapor showed that elements combine in specific proportions. cathode rays were bent in the same way whenever a magnet was brought near them.
