With probability 1/2 the pivot selected will be between n/2 and 3n/4 (i. e. a good pivot). Also with probability 1/2 the pivot selected will be between 1 and n/4 or between 3n/4 and n (i. e. a bad pivot). (1 points) 1. State a recurrence that expresses the worst case for bad pivots.

Required:
a. State a recurrence that expresses the worst case for bad pivots.
b. State a recurrence that expresses the worst case for good pivots.
c. State a recurrence that expresses the expected worst case by combining the first two recurrences.
d. Prove by induction that your recurrence is in O(nlog n).

Assume the existence of a bankaccount class. define a derived class, savingsaccount that contains two instance variables: the first a double, named interestrate, and the second an integer named interesttype. the value of the interesttype variable can be 1 for simple interest and 2 for compound interest. there is also a constructor that accepts two parameters: a double that is used to initialize the interestrate variable, and a string that you may assume will contain either "simple", or "compound", and which should be used to initialize the interesttype variable appropriately. there should also be a pair of functions getinterestrate and getinteresttype that return the values of the corresponding data members (as double and int respectively).
