You are given the following six numbers: 183, 280, 281, 370, 376, and 482. You are told to insert these six numbers, in any order, into a vector of integers. This vector will then be sorted in ascending order using a variation of quicksort that always chooses the last element of the vector as the pivot. How many distinct insertion orders of these six integers would cause this variation of quicksort to run in the worst-case in terms of integer comparisons? Hint: the worst-case happens when the pivot chosen is always the smallest or the largest element at every step of the quicksort algorithm. How many times will you have to choose the pivot here?

If you have a lien on your vehicle, you cannot apply for a duplicate copy of your vehicle’s certificate of title. true or false

The volume v and paper surface area a of a conical paper cup are given by where r is the radius of the base of the cone and h is the height of the cone. a. by eliminating h, obtain the expression for a as a function of r and v. b. create a user-de ned function that accepts r as the only argument and computes a for a given value of v. declare v to be global within the function. c. for v ! 10 in.3 , use the function with the fminbnd function to compute the value of r that minimizes the area a. what is the corresponding value of the height h? investigate the sensitivity of the solution by plotting v versus r. how much can r vary about its optimal value before the area increases 10 percent above its minimum value?

Johnson enterprises uses a computer to handle its sales invoices. lately, business has been so good that it takes an extra 3 hours per night, plus every third saturday, to keep up with the volume of sales invoices. management is considering updating its computer with a faster model that would eliminate all of the overtime processing.
