Parallel processing is the simultaneous use of more than one computer to run a program. Suppose one computer, working alone, takes 16 hours longer than a second computer to run a program. After both computers work together for one hour, the faster computer crashes. The slower computer continues working for another 14 hours before completing the program. How long would it take the faster computer, working alone, to run the program?
Equations and Inequations
Equations and inequalities describe the relationship between two mathematical expressions.
Linear Functions
A linear function can just be a constant, or it can be the constant multiplied with the variable like x or y. If the variables are of the form, x2, x1/2 or y2 it is not linear. The exponent over the variables should always be 1.
