Using Microsoft Word drawing tools, create a mind map as a visual aid to explain how video games have impacted different facets of society and culture. Your mind map should address these questions: What are some useful applications of video games

Assume that to_the_power_of is a function that expects two int parameters and returns the value of the first parameter raised to the power of the second parameter. write a statement that calls to_the_power_of to compute the value of cube_side raised to the power of 3 and that associates this value with cube_volume.

In excel - calculate the actual increase/decrease from first quarter to the second quarter then subtract subtract first quarter value from second quarter total then divide result by first quarter 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?
