To install and use a printer over a network, the printer must have an assigned IP address so that it can be located and communicated with by other devices on the same network.

“Network printers are assigned IP addresses so computers can locate and send print jobs to them over the network.” — CompTIA ITF+ Networking Guide

Correct answer: B

Encryption protects files by converting them into unreadable formats unless the correct decryption key is provided. The CompTIA ITF+ FC0-U71 Official Study Guide explains:

"Encryption is the process of converting data into a secure format that cannot be read without a decryption key. Only users with the proper key can access the original data."

File permissions control user access based on OS-level rules, but encryption specifically ensures that only those with the key can read the file even if they access the file storage.

Hidden folders merely conceal files but don’t protect content. Compression reduces file size but doesn’t protect access.

The largest unit is determined by converting all values to the same unit:

2TB = 2,000GB

100GB = 100GB

4,000MB = 4GB

50KB = 0.00005GB

Thus, 2TB is the largest. As described in the CompTIA ITF+ FC0-U71 Study Guide:

“Data storage capacity is measured using standard units such as KB, MB, GB, and TB, where 1TB = 1,000GB.”

A variable is a named space in memory used to store data that can change during program execution.

“Variables are memory storage locations used to hold data that can change while a program runs.” — CompTIA ITF+ Programming Concepts

Correct answer: A

UESTION NO: 83 [IT Concepts and Terminology]

A systems administrator resolves a persistent issue with a laptop. Which of the following steps should the administrator take next?

A. Test the theory.

B. Document the findings.

C. Create an action plan.

D. Implement the action plan.

Answer: B

After resolving the issue, the final step in the CompTIA troubleshooting methodology is to document the findings. This includes noting what was done, what caused the issue, and how it was resolved, so others can reference it in the future.

“After resolving and verifying the issue, document the findings, actions taken, and outcomes to complete the troubleshooting process.” — CompTIA ITF+ Troubleshooting Steps

Correct answer: B

In CompTIA Tech+ Study Guide (Exam FC0-U71, 3rd Edition, 2025), the section “Reviewing Throughput Speeds” explains:

“The most basic measure of throughput is in bits per second (bps)—that is, how many bits are transmitted across the network media (or wireless connection) any given second. Each of the following designations increases that speed by 1000 times:

■ Kilobits per second (Kbps)

■ Megabits per second (Mbps)

■ Gigabits per second (Gbps)

■ Terabits per second (Tbps)”

This shows that Mbps (megabits per second) is the standard measurement unit for Internet connection speed.

802.11X is a wireless security standard,

MHz measures processor frequency, and

Bytes measure data size, not transfer rate.

The CompTIA Tech+ Study Guide (Exam FC0-U71, 3rd Edition, 2025) defines hexadecimal as follows:

“The hexadecimal notational system, or base-16… In hex, the numbers 0 to 9 are used, just like in decimal. However, the letters A to F are used to represent decimal numbers 10 through 15.”

This directly confirms that hexadecimal uses digits 0–9 and letters A–F.

The CompTIA Tech+ Study Guide explains:

“A compiled programming language is one that requires the use of a compiler to translate it into machine code. Creating and using a program using a compiled language consists of three steps:

Write the source code.

Use a compiler to translate the source code into machine code.

Execute the program file, which usually has an .exe extension.”

Compiled languages package programs into executable files.

Artificial intelligence (AI) powers predictive text by analyzing user input patterns and language models to suggest likely words or phrases.

“AI enables predictive text by using language models and historical input to forecast what the user intends to type next.” — CompTIA ITF+ Emerging Technologies

Correct answer: C

Conferencing software (e.g., Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Webex) enables users to conduct meetings online using audio, video, and screen sharing.

“Conferencing software facilitates real-time communication and collaboration over the internet through audio and video.” — CompTIA ITF+ Applications and Software

Correct answer: D

RAM (Random Access Memory) in smartphones and computers is most commonly measured in gigabytes (GB) today. Typical smartphone RAM ranges from 2GB to 16GB depending on performance and price.

“Memory capacity in modern devices like smartphones is measured in gigabytes (GB), reflecting their need to support multitasking and app usage.” — CompTIA ITF+ Official Resources

Other options:

KB and MB were used in earlier computing generations.

TB is used for storage, not RAM.

Correct answer: A
