You are given the following six numbers:

183 280 281 370 376 482

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?

A) 2

B) 32

C) 36

D) 64

E) 72

When designing content as part of your content marketing strategy, what does the "think" stage represent in the "see, think, do, care" framework?

You have inserted new slides based on a word outline. how do you format these new slides to match the powerpoint presentation formatting? a. select all slides in the presentation and click format on the home tab. b. select the new slides and click reset on the home tab. c. select all slides in the presentation and click reset on the home tab. d. select the new slides and click format on the home tab.

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?
