What is the quickest way to change the format of a table? copy and paste the table into a new slide. use the table option on the insert tab of the ribbon. delete the table and recreate it using a preconfigured table type. use the table styles option on the design tab of the table tools contextual tab.

If you want to import a picture into a dtp application, what must you do first? draw an image frame. import text. open the folder containing the file. select get image… from the windows menu.

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?

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?
