Each block of data in a computer’s hard drive is addressed with a unique number.  A given computer hard drive uses a binary 8 bit number to address all 256 data blocks. If a computer designer wants to double the number of addressable data blocks to 512, the MINIMUM number of bits of the address length is:

Students may discuss assignments with other students

D max is given by:  where: a = 0.5 : 1.5 : 8 b = 8 – a E = 0.2 I = 1.5 P = 0.425 Which of the following is the correct MATLAB assignment to calculate Dmax?

The software RESPONDUS MUST be used during CDS-130 Stage and Final Exams.

Students are REQURIED to have their own/personal copy of MATLAB.

It’s OK to share MATLAB programs & assignments and let other classmates copy your work

If we have an amputated finger, we should place it DIRECTLY on ice to preserve it until we can get to the hospital. 

I will plan to work ahead and submit all assignments and exams by the due dates provided at the bottom of my syllabus. I have saved the due dates for assignments and exams to the calendar on my phone (set reminders for a few days before and the day of to be sure that you remember), printed them off, or recorded them in my monthly planner. I will begin reading my textbook and working on assignments immediately, and plan to submit a minimum of 2 assignments a week. I understand that Special Assignment 1 is REQUIRED and MUST be submitted, but bonus assignments are not and only count for extra credit.

DO NOT use MATLAB to solve this problem.   This is a MATLAB programming problem. In order to receive full credit for this problem, you must write syntactically correct MATLAB code that, if run, would produce the correct answer to the problem and all elements of a GOOD code. (From Physics)   When computing the average power consumed in an electrical circuit with a resistor and a capacitor, the following equations are used: (units have been removed)      (1)      (2)      (3) where: f = 60L = 0.025R = 10V = 50   Note:  DO NOT use 3.14159… for π.  You MUST use the MATLAB function for π. Problem:  Write a MATLAB code to compute a value for the Average Power, P.  TYPE the full code into Blackboard. DO NOT simply substitute values into the above equations, and then write one big assignment statement.  Instead, you MUST write separate assignment statements for each variable, and calculation statements ordered correctly.  Have the code ONLY display the value for P.  Don’t worry about the units involved, they work out.   Use “good” programming style discussed.
