Show that there is a language a ⚆ {0, 1} â— with the following properties: 1. for all x â a, |x| ≤ 5. 2. no dfa with fewer than 9 states recognizes a. hint: you don’t have to define a explicitly; just show that it has to exist. count the number of languages satisfying (1) and the number of dfas satisfying (2), and argue that there aren’t enough dfas to recognize all those languages. to count the number of languages satisfying (1), think about writing down all the strings of length at most 5, and then to define such a language, you have to make a binary decision for each string about whether to include it in the language or not. how many ways are there to make these choices? to count the number of dfas satisfying (2), consider that a dfa behaves identically even if you rename all the states, so you can assume without loss of generality that any dfa with k states has the state set {q1, q2, . . , qk}. now think about how to count how many ways there are to choose the other four parts of the dfa.

One of your customers wants you to build a personal server that he can use in his home. one of his concerns is making sure he has at least one backup of their data stored on the server in the event that a disk fails. you have decided to back up his data using raid. since this server is for personal use only, the customer wants to keep costs down. therefore, he would like to keep the number of drives to a minimum. which of the following raid systems would best meet the customer's specifications? a. raid 0 b. raid 1 c. raid 5 d. raid 10

Write a grading program for a class with the following grading policies: a. there are two quizzes, each graded on the basis of 10 points. b. there is one midterm exam and one final exam, each graded on the basis of 100 points. c. the final exam counts for 50% of the grade, the midterm counts for 25%, and the two quizzes together count for a total of 25%. (do not forget to normalize the quiz scores. they should be converted to a percentage before they are averaged in.) any grade of 90 or more is an a, any grade of 80 or more (but less than 90) is a b, any grade of 70 or more (but less than 80) is a c, any grade of 60 or more (but less than 70) is a d, and any grade below 60 is an f. the program will read in the student’s scores and output the student’s record, which consists of two quiz and two exam scores as well as the student’s average numeric score for the entire course and final letter grade. define and use a structure for the student reco
