Anetwork administrator wants to have the same network mask for all networks at a particular small site. the site has the following networks and number of devices:
ip phones - 22 addresses
pcs - 20 addresses needed
printers - 2 addresses needed
scanners - 2 addresses needed
the network administrator has deemed that 192.168.10.0/24 is to be the network used at this site. which single subnet mask would make the most efficient use of the available addresses to use for the four subnetworks?

Awell-diversified portfolio needs about 20-25 stocks from different categories.

1. package newton’s method for approximating square roots (case study 3.6) in a function named newton. this function expects the input number as an argument and returns the estimate of its square root. the script should also include a main function that allows the user to compute square roots of inputs until she presses the enter/return key. 2. convert newton’s method for approximating square roots in project 1 to a recursive function named newton. (hint: the estimate of the square root should be passed as a second argument to the function.) 3. elena complains that the recursive newton function in project 2 includes an extra argument for the estimate. the function’s users should not have to provide this value, which is always the same, when they call this function. modify the definition of the function so that it uses a keyword parameter with the appropriate default value for this argument, and call the function without a second argument to demonstrate that it solves this problem. 4. restructure newton’s method (case study 3.6) by decomposing it into three cooperating functions. the newton function can use either the recursive strategy of project 1 or the iterative strategy of case study 3.6. the task of testing for the limit is assigned to a function named limitreached, whereas the task of computing a new approximation is assigned to a function named improveestimate. each function expects the relevant arguments and returns an appropriate value. 5. a list is sorted in ascending order if it is empty or each item except the last one is less than or equal to its successor. define a predicate issorted that expects a list as an argument and returns true if the list is sorted, or returns false otherwise. (hint: for a list of length 2 or greater, loop through the list and compare pairs of items, from left to right, and return false if the first item in a pair is greater.)

Jaina and tomas are being considered as new tenants in an apartment. the landlord looks at their creditworthiness because he wants to be sure his new tenant pays the rent on time and in full. the table below summarizes the information that was on their applications. application information questions jaina tomas how many years have you had your job? 5 2 what is your monthly salary? $1,850 $2,500 how many credit cards do you have? 4 1 how much debt do you have? $13,000 $7,000 how many times were you late with payments on credit cards in the past year? 5 1 who will the landlord decide to be more creditworthy and why? tomas because the ratio of his debt to income is less. jaina because she has had her job longer, which makes her look more stable. jaina because she has more credit cards available to her. tomas because he makes more money per month.
