Discuss the key functions of an operating system, and how these functions make it possible for computer applications to effectively utilize computer system resources.

Alook-up table used to convert pixel values to output values on a monitor. essentially, all pixels with a value of 190 or above are shown as white (i.e. 255), and all values with a value of 63 or less are shown as black (i.e. 0). in between the pixels are scaled so that a pixel with a value p is converted to a pixel of value 2/127 −+3969). if a pixel has a value of 170 originally, what value will be used to display the pixel on the monitor? if a value of 110 is used to display the pixel on the monitor, what was the original value of the pixel?

Suppose you have 9 coins and one of them is heavier than others. other 8 coins weight equally. you are also given a balance. develop and algorithm to determine the heavy coin using only two measurements with the of the balance. clearly write your algorithm in the form of a pseudocode using the similar notation that we have used in the class to represent sorting algorithms
