Explanation of Solution

Physical components of a disk drive:

Some of the components of rigid disk drive are as follows:

  • Disk platters
  • Actuator arm
  • Spindle
  • Read/ write head

Disk platters:

  • Fixed disks have a control circuitry and some glass or metal disks called platters. It is bonded with a thin film of magnetizable material. The disk platters are stacked on a spindle that is turned on using a motor.
    • The disk platter contains various concentric circles called as tracks. Mostly each and every track on the system contains the same number of sectors.

Actuator arm:

  • The read/ write head are usually mounted on a rotating arm named as actuator arm.
  • The axis of each actuator arm is enclosed by a coil which is induced with magnetic field...

(1 point) By dragging statements from the left column to the right column below, give a proof by induction of the following statement: an = = 9" - 1 is a solution to the recurrence relation an = 9an-18 with ao = : 0. The correct proof will use 8 of the statements below. Statements to choose from: Note that a₁ = 9a0 + 8. Now assume that P(n) is true for all n ≥ 0. Your Proof: Put chosen statements in order in this column and press the Submit Answers button. Let P(n) be the predicate, "a = 9″ – 1". απ = 90 − 1 = Note that Let P(n) be the predicate, "an 9" - 1 is a solution to the recurrence relation an = 9an-1 +8 with ao = 0." - Now assume that P(k + 1) is true. Thus P(k) is true for all k. Thus P(k+1) is true. Then ak+1 = 9ak +8, so P(k + 1) is true. = 1 − 1 = 0, as required. Then = 9k — 1. ak Now assume that P(k) is true for an arbitrary integer k ≥ 1. By the recurrence relation, we have ak+1 = ak+1 = = 9ak + 8 = 9(9k − 1) + 8 This simplifies to 9k+19+8 = 9k+1 − 1 Then 9k+1 − 1 = 9(9*…
Given the following request to an AI chatbot, which response is more accurate? (You should use Google to verify that the factual claims in each response are accurate.)   Prompt Is this true? The first recorded use of the phrase "when pigs fly" in print is in a 1616 play by Ben Jonson called "The Devil is an Ass," in which a character says, "When pigs fly, good-night!!" Response   Response A Response B Yes, that's true! The phrase "when pigs fly" indeed appears in Ben Jonson's 1616 play The Devil is an Ass and was said during the second act in a conversation between Fitzdottrel and Pug. The phrase was first used to express skepticism or disbelief, suggesting that something is as unlikely to happen as the fanciful idea of pigs flying. This usage is often cited as one of the earliest instances of the phrase in print.   The claim that the phrase "when pigs fly" was first recorded in Ben Jonson's 1616 play "The Devil is an Ass" is not accurate. There is no evidence from the…
