A company has several employees, all with different names, who perform interviews with
job applicants (one applicant is interviewed by one employee). The job applicants also have
different names. The interviewer makes appointments for interviews with the applicants.
Each applicant may be interviewed at several occasions, possibly by different interviewers,
but in that case the interviews take place during different days.
The company has special interview rooms. Each interviewer uses the same room for all
interviews during a day. A room may, however, be used by different interviewers during a
day, as long as the interviews don't collide in time.
The reservation of interview appointments is to be computerized. The database devel-
oper has decided to use a single relation for all data, with the following schema:
Interviews(interviewer, applicant, day, time, room)
a) From the text, find functional dependencies in the relation.
b) Find the keys of the relation.
c) Show that the relation is…

Problem Description:In order to ensure peace and prosperity for future generations, the United Nations is creating the world’s largest candy. The ingredients must be taken in railway cars from the top of a mountain and poured into Lake Geneva. The railway system goes steeply from the mountaintop down to the lake, with a T-shaped branch in the middle as shown below.
Right now, each of the N ingredients is in its own railway car. Each railway car is assigned a positive integer from 1 to N. The ingredients must be poured into the lake in the order 1, 2, 3, . . . , N but the railway cars are lined up in some random order. The difficulty is that, because of the especially heavy gravity today, you can only move cars downhill to the lake, or sideways on the branch line. Is it still possible to pour the ingredients into the lake in the order 1, 2, 3, . . . , N ?
For example, if the cars were in the order 2, 3, 1, 4, we can slide these into the lake in order as described…
Problem
You have a fence post located at the point (x,y) where a goat is tethered by a rope. You also have a house, which is a rectangle with diagonally opposite corners at the points bottom-left: (x1,y1) and top-right: (x2,y2). You want to pick a length of rope that guarantees the goat cannot reach the house. Determine the minimum distance from the fence post to the house, so that you can make sure to use a shorter rope.
Recall that the distance formula is: (x2−x1)2+(y2−y1)2
The input consists of a single line containing six space-separated integer values: x, y, x1, y1, x2, and y2.
You are guaranteed that x1<x2 and y1<y2, and that (x,y) is strictly outside the axis-aligned rectangle with corners at (x1,y1) and (x2,y2).
Return the minimum distance from the goat’s post to the house as a floating-point value from main().

- Quadratic Root Solver For a general quadratic equation y = ax? + bx + c, the roots can be classified into three categories depending upon the value of the discriminant which is given by b2 - 4ac First, if the discriminant is equal to 0, there is only one real root. Then, if the discriminant is a positive value, there are two roots which are real and unequal. The roots can be computed as follows: -b+ Vb? – 4ac 2a Further, if the discriminant is a negative value, then there are two imaginary roots. In this case, the roots are given by b ь? - 4ас 2a 2a Programming tasks: A text file, coeff.txt has the following information: coeff.txt 3 4 4 4 1 4 Each line represents the values of a, b and c, for a quadratic equation.

He assigns some requirements about system that how should it work. The requirements are such a way that there are only '5' number of box office windows in the theatre. Each window can have at max '20' number of people waiting in line. To start with, only one window is opened. If the number of people waiting in line in that window exceeds 20, then the next window is opened and people can join the line in that window. Likewise, if both the first and second windows have n number of people waiting in each queue, then a third window is opened. This can go on until the maximum number of windows w is reached. Let us assume that once a window is opened it never closes. A new window is only opened if all open windows are full. Each person can buy only one ticket. So, the system should not allot more than one ticket per person. Let us assume that the system issues one ticket…arrow_forwardA midterm exam has two parts.

Of course, the lending company will charge interest on the loan. Every periodic payment consists of the interest on the loan and the payment toward the principal amount. To be specific, suppose that you borrow $1,000 at an interest rate of 7.2% per year and the payments are monthly. Suppose that your monthly payment is $25. Now, the interest is 7.2% per year and the payments are monthly, so the interest rate per month is 7.2/12 = 0.6%. The first month’s interest on $1,000 is 1000 X 0.006 = 6. Because the payment is $25 and the interest for the first month is $6, the payment toward the principal amount is 25 - 6 = 19. This means after making the first payment, the loan amount is 1,000 - 19 = 981. For the second payment, the interest is calculated on $981. So the interest for the second month is 981 X 0.006 = 5.886, that is,…arrow_forwardINTRODUCTION: Heat conduction from a cylindrical solid wall of a pipe can be determined by the follow T1-T2 q = 2nLk R2 In R. where: q is the computed heat conduction in Watts. k is the thermal conductivity of the pipe material in Watts/°C/m.

A weighted average uses the percentages of each isotope to scale their contribution to the total mass. Each isotope's contribution is the percentage (in decimal form) multiplied by the mass of the isotope. What is the contribution (in amu) to the weighted average from the X-19 isotope, which has a mass of 19.00 amu?arrow_forwardComputer Science Investing in stocks is a way to create assets that are supposed to provide financial security over time. In solving this problem, we assume that an investor buys several shares of stock at a certain price. These shares are going to be sold later on for a different price. Obviously, if the selling price is higher than the acquisition price, the investor makes a profit, registering capital gain. If the shares are sold at a lower price, the investor has a loss, which marks a negative capital gain. This whole process is done over a period of time, and you are required to create a scenario for buying and selling shares. The assumption is that the investor sells shares in the order in which they were purchased. The goal is to calculate the capital gain over time. Suppose that you buy n shares of stock or mutual fund for d dollars each. Later, you sell some of these shares. If the sale price exceeds the purchase price, you have made a profit—a capital gain.

- Draw a Crow's feet ERD using the following information.arrow_forwardFergusonball players are given a star rating based on the number of points that they score and the number of fouls that they commit. Specifically, they are awarded 5 stars for each point scored, and 3 stars are taken away for each foul committed. For every player, the number of points that they score is greater than the number of fouls that they commit. Your job is to determine how many players on a team have a star rating greater than 40. You also need to determine if the team is considered a gold team which means that all the players have a star rating greater than 40. Input Specification The first line of input consists of a positive integer N representing the total number of players on the team. This is followed by a pair of consecutive lines for each player. The first line in a pair is the number of points that the player scored. The second line in a pair is the number of fouls that the player committed. Both the number of points and the number of fouls, are non-negative integers.…arrow_forwardBus timetables specify to the second the exact arrival and departure time of each bus on each stop. You need to pay for the full fare of every bus you ride and different bus lines charge different fees , but they are flat fees (independent of distance travelled on the line) A travel plan is a sequence of stop-time pairs where stop is a location of a bus stop and time is when we arrive at that stop. The plan is feasible if for any two consecutive pairs (a, t) and (b, t′) in the plan there exists a bus that departs after t and arrives at b at exactly t′. That is, a travel plan does not allow us to walk between stops. Assuming that no two buses arrive at the same time at the same stop, a feasible plan uniquely identifies the bus lines that we need to take to realize the plan. The cost of the plan is the sum of the fares we need to pay. Your task is to design an efficient algorithm that given a departure time t, an arrival time t′, an origin stop a and a destination stop b, finds the…arrow_forward
