Parallel arrays and arrays of structures An array of structures are usually equivalent to parallel arrays of the components. For example‚ if each student record consists of an ID number and a GPA value‚ then a list of students can be represented as an array of structure: The same data can be stored as two arrays that "parallel" to each other‚ in the sense that the same index in them indicate data for the same student: Usually the first way is more natural and convenient.

This week I am to find the equation of a line that is parallel or perpendicular to given lines that pass through specific point. The given equation y=12 x+3 The parallel line must pass through point (-2‚ 1) Parallel lines share the same slope so the slope of the new line will be12. Because I have an ordered pair and the slope‚ I can use point-slope to find the new equation Y-y1=m(x-x1)

Pumping Systems: Parallel and Series Configurations For some piping system designs‚ it may be desirable to consider a multiple pump system to meet the design requirements. Two typical options include parallel and series configurations of pumps. Specific performance criteria must be met when considering these options. Given a piping system which has a known design flow rate and head requirements‚ Qdes‚ hdes‚ the following pump selection criteria apply. Pumps in Parallel: Assuming that the pumps are

The Cave The allegory of the cave is a story of open mindedness and power of possibility made by Plato.
