The reason why a database table is in the first normal form (1nf), but not in the second form (2nf) is because:
a. there is a non-prime attribute that is partially dependent on the key of the table.
b. there is a nested table or a complex object structure embedded in the table.
c. there is an many-to-many relationship embedded in the table.
d. all of a., b., and c.

When making changes to optimize part of a processor, it is often the case that speeding up one type of instruction comes at the cost of slowing down something else. for example, if we put in a complicated fast floating-point unit, that takes space, and something might have to be moved farther away from the middle to accommodate it, adding an extra cycle in delay to reach that unit. the basic amdahl's law equation does not take into account this trade-off. a. if the new fast floating-point unit speeds up floating-point operations by, on average, 2ă—, and floating-point operations take 20% of the original program's execution time, what is the overall speedup (ignoring the penalty to any other instructions)? b. now assume that speeding up the floating-point unit slowed down data cache accesses, resulting in a 1.5ă— slowdown (or 2/3 speedup). data cache accesses consume 10% of the execution time. what is the overall speedup now? c. after implementing the new floating-point operations, what percentage of execution time is spent on floating-point operations? what percentage is spent on data cache accesses?

What is the process in which the software development team compiles information to determine the final product

Write a defining table and then a program that determines if you can sleep in or not. your program should get all its input from your computer’s clock. on all weekdays (monday through friday) that are not holidays, your program should output “get up! ” on all other days (weekends and holidays), your program should output “sleep in.” the three holidays that your program must check for are january 1 (new year’s day), july 4 (u. s. independence day), and december 25 (christmas). you don’t need to include other holidays in your program because most other holidays do not occur on a fixed day each year.
