Consider a set A = {a1, . . . , an} and a collection B1, B2, . . . , Bm of subsets of A (i. e., Bi ⊆ A for each i). We say that a set H ⊆ A is a hitting set for the collection B1, B2, . . . , Bm if H contains at least one element from each Bi – that is, if H ∩ Bi is not empty for each i (so H "hits" all the sets of Bi). We define the Hitting Set Problem as follows. We are given a set A = {a1, . . . , an}, a collection B1, B2, . . . , Bm of subsets of A, and an non-negative integer k. We are asked: is there a hitting set H ⊆ A for B1, B2, . . . , Bm so that the size of H is at most k? Prove that the Hitting Set problem is NP-complete

Write a function called checkfactor that takes two arrays of positive numbers, firstnumberrow and secondnumberrow. checkfactor checks if the first entry in firstnumberrow is divisible by the first entry in secondnumberrow, and performs the same operation on the next array elements until all entries have been checked. all the numbers are positive and the number of entries in the arrays are the same. the function should return the identified divisible numbers in two row arrays named firstdivisible and seconddivisible.restrictions: branches or loops should not be used. the code must use the internal mod and logical functions.hint: the mod function should be used to determine if two numbers are divisible. ex: for num1 and num2 if mod(num1,num2) is 0, then the two numbers are divisible.this is matlab
