Let Deterministic Quicksort be the non-randomized Quicksort which takes the first element as a pivot, using the partition routine that we covered in class on the quicksort slides. Consider another almost-best case for quicksort, in which the pivot always splits the arrays 1/3: 2/3, i. e., one third is on the left, and two thirds are on the right, for all recursive calls of Deterministic Quicksort. (a) Give the runtime recurrence for this almost-best case. (b) Use the recursion tree to argue why the runtime recurrence solves to Theta (n log n). You do not need to do big-Oh induction. (c) Give a sequence of 4 distinct numbers and a sequence of 13 distinct numbers that cause this almost-best case behavior. (Assume that for 4 numbers the array is split into 1 element on the left side, the pivot, and two elements on the right side. Similarly, for 13 numbers it is split with 4 elements on the left, the pivot, and 8 elements on the right side.)

An external consultant recommends that a plant installs a bank of capacitors for power factor correction. this will reduce the peak electrical demand charges by an average of 93 kw every month. the plant current pays $13 per kw in peak demand charges. the capacitor bank will include 223 kw of fixed capacitors, and 183 of variable capacitors. the fixed capacitors cost $59 per kw, and the variable capacitors will cost $65 per kw. the consultant charges 21% of the equipment costs to install the capacitors. because this project will reduce the demand for the electric utility, they are prepared to provide a one-time rebate of $42 per kw of reduced demand. what is the simple payback period for this project (in years)?
