A photographer is manipulating a digital image and overwriting the original image. Which of the following describes a lossy transformation of the digital image?

• Creating the gray scale of an image by averaging the amounts of red, green, and blue in each pixel and assigning this new value to the corresponding pixel in the new image. The new value of each pixel represents a shade of gray, ranging from white to black.
• Creating a mirrored image by swapping the RGB values from pixels on the left side of an image with RGB values from pixels on the right side of an image.
• Swapping the Red and Green values of each pixel so that areas that were red now appear green and vice versa.
• Creating the negative of an image by creating a new RGB triplet for each pixel in which each value is calculated by subtracting the original value from 255. The negative of an image is reversed from the original; light areas appear dark, and colors are reversed.

Which of the following statements are true about lossless compression?
I - Lossless compression is used only to send files over the Internet
II - Sending a compressed version of a file ensures that the contents of the file cannot be intercepted by an unauthorized user.

• I only
• II only
• I and II
• Neither I nor II

A red triangle is pictured below in a grid of squares. It is currently facing upward, and can only move using the MoveTriangle procedure, shown below. The triangle can move onto white and gray squares, but not onto the black squares.

PROCEDURE MoveTriangle (numMoves, numTurns)
{  
 REPEAT numMoves TIMES   
 {  
 MOVE_FORWARD()  
 }  
 REPEAT numTurns TIMES  
 {    
 TURN_RIGHT()  
 }
}

Which of the following instructions will get the red triangle to the gray square?

• MoveTriangle (1, 1) MoveTriangle (1, 1) MoveTriangle (3, 1) MoveTriangle (3, 0)

• MoveTriangle (4, 1)

  MoveTriangle (4, 0)

• MoveTriangle (1, 1)

  MoveTriangle (1, 3)

  MoveTriangle (3, 1)

  MoveTriangle (3, 0)

   
• MoveTriangle (1, 1)

  MoveTriangle (1, 3)

  MoveTriangle (3, 3)

  MoveTriangle (3, 0)
