A i.The main components of the system unit are;
· The Central Processing Unit (CPU)
· The Motherboard
· Random Access Memory (RAM)
· A Hard Disk Drive (HDD). A Solid State Drive (SSD)
· Power Supply Unit (PSU)
ii. The basic input and output devices are;
· Input; Keyboard and Mouse
· Output; Monitor and Speakers
iii. If you want to watch television and listen to the radio you will need a TV Tuner card that can be plugged into a PCI Express (PCIe) slot.
iv. To connect your camera use a USB port.
v. There are two types of software that you need to install;
· Operating System; Examples include Windows, macOS, Linux.
· Application Software; Examples include Microsoft Office for productivity and Adobe Photoshop for image editing.
B. Binary calculations;
i. 0110 + 0101 = 1011
ii. 1111- 1010 = 0101
iii. 0101 multiply by 1101
0101
*1101
10101
iii. 1010101/ 0101
Steps
· We devide 1010101 by 0101 which gives us 10 reminder 1001
· We again devide 1010101 by 1001 which gives us 0
· Then we can say the results of 1010101/0101 is 10 without reminder
C.Comparison of Intel processor types;
· Celeron; It is an entry level processor, with performance capabilities.
· Pentium; This processor falls in the. Category and offers decent performance.
· Core 2 Duo; The Core 2 Duo is a dual core processor.
· Duo Core; This term is not commonly used,. It likely refers to dual core processors.
D.Hexadecimal Additions:
i) FFAA + A100
FFAA
+ A100
19BAA
ii) 0123 + A5EE
0123
+ A5EE
A711
D. Hexadecimal Subtractions:
i) FFFFAAAA – 12AA02AB
To subtract hexadecimal numbers, we can use borrowing just like normal.
FFFFAAAA
· 12AA02AB
A – B = A – B = 10 – 2 = 8
A – B (with borrow) = A – B – 1 = 9 – 1 = 8
0 – A (with borrow) = 0 – A – 1 = -A – 1
A – 2 = A – 2 = 10 – 2 = 8
9 – A (with borrow) = 9 – A – 1 = 9 – A – 1
A – 0 = A
So the answer is 88F88E7F
