1: How do you use the product rule to simplify exponents? Give an example and explain?

2: What are the practical usages of scientific notation? Why is scientific notation so important in our modern day society?

3: Scientific notation help us to shorten very large numbers and scales. The examples in the practices were things like magnitude between masses, distances and other values. For example, if a measure of something is 887,000,000,000, when can note this as 8.87 x 10¹¹. It's like a "shorthand" notation.Calculator need to use this notation because some numbers are to big for a display also think of scientific notation as an acronym like used in computer science.

4: Throughput, connection to backbone LAN, and dynamic configuration are important requirements for WLANs. The medium access control (MAC) protocol should use the wireless medium to its full potential in order to maximize capacity. Typically, interconnection with stations on a wired backbone LAN is required. This can be done easily for infrastructure WLANs by using control modules that connect to both types of LANs. Additionally, adjustments should be able to be made for mobile users and ad hoc wireless networks. The MAC addressing and network management aspects of the LAN should allow additions, deletions, and relocation of systems both dynamically and automatically and without disrupting other users. What are some other key requirements for WLANs?

5: When I think of a requirement for WLANs, hand off management is an important part of it. Reducing hand off latency will ensure a seamless roaming to support real time applications such as teleconferencing and the use of VoIP. Users must be able to access the WLAN from key areas such as conference rooms with little to no interference. Another key requirement is keeping it secure. Wireless LANs that are not properly configured will be prone to attacks from malicious users. Creating a WLAN security policy outlining all business assets that has to be protected along with the impact of breaches and data loss should be included. There should also be fail-overs backup plans with all the guidelines. There should also be limitations of use such as not allowing social networking sites and bandwidth limitations for streaming or downloading.

6: Wireless technology has always been a favorite topic of mine. There are many different ways we use wireless technology today. What started out in small electronic devices like remote controls has now expanded to appliances, cars, and even entire homes. It has made our lives a little easier by allowing us to be more mobile and stay connected. We are able to keep up with friend and family through social media. We can view the news and other websites on our pocket computers we call smart phones. Some of us can even control lights in our homes, thermostats, garages, and even main entry doors. WiFi technology is the one I use the most at while home and at the office. My desktop at work is on a wired LAN but my laptop and smart phone are always connected to the WiFi. My entire home is pretty much on WiFi including my TV, laptops, tablets, and phones. I can't imagine how much wires I would have routed around the house if I didn't have WiFi.
