A. Place the numbers 10, 16, 1, 4, 5, 17, 12, 21, 2, 6, 8 in the order in which they appear in a binary search tree. b. During the process of constructing the binary search tree, when you place 17 and 6, please write down the numbers that you need to compare with(please write the number in order i. e., the first number in your answer is the first number you need to compare with).

Step-by-step explanation:

The objective of the question (a) is to place the given numbers 10, 16, 1, 4, 5, 17, 12, 21, 2, 6, 8 in the order in which they appear in a binary search tree.

So; from the attached file below ; we will see a diagram representation the above computation in a binary tree diagram.

However, during the process of constructing the binary search tree ; when i place 17 and 6; the number  that i compare with are explained as follows:

Let take them one after the other;

SO for 17;  we need to compare 17 with 10 first; then move towards the right to compare it with 16.

So ; the answer is 10,16 in that order.

For 6 ;

We first compare it with 10; go to the left and  compare it with 1; then we follow the right path and again compare it with 4; then to the right again by comparing it with 5

So; the answer is 10,1,4,5 in that order.

x=-2

infinite number of lines, so there is an infinite number of equations.

step-by-step explanation:

there are an infinite number of line that passes through the point (-2,5)

x=-2   is one line that passes through the point

y = 5 is another line that passes through the point

(these two lines are perpendicular to each other).

since the number of   numbers are infinite and the slope is the ratio of two numbers,(change in y over change in x) we can have an infinite number of slopes.     our only condition is that it passes through the point (-2,5)

i believe that the slope of the line is -5
