Relying on a subset of the performance equation (cpu execution time is the only valid comparison data), one could select the lower performing processor while they are requiring the higher performing design. for this question, here are the two processors. p1 has a clock rate of 3.0 ghz, average cpi of 1.60, and requires execution of 4.2 x 10^9 instructions. p2 has a clock rate of 3.5 ghz, and average cpi of 2.00 and requires 4.0 x 10^9 instructions. based on cpu execution time, the only valid comparison, which processor is faster?

Evaluate 8x2 + 9x − 1 2x3 + 3x2 − 2x dx. solution since the degree of the numerator is less than the degree of the denominator, we don't need to divide. we factor the denominator as 2x3 + 3x2 − 2x = x(2x2 + 3x − 2) = x(2x − 1)(x + 2). since the denominator has three distinct linear factors, the partial fraction decomposition of the integrand has the form† 8x2 + 9x − 1 x(2x − 1)(x + 2) = correct: your answer is correct. to determine the values of a, b, and c, we multiply both sides of this equation by the product of the denominators, x(2x − 1)(x + 2), obtaining 8x2 + 9x − 1 = a correct: your answer is correct. (x + 2) + bx(x + 2) + cx(2x − 1).
