(Note: you should decide to use Greedy or DP on this problem) Prof. Curly is planning a cross-country road-trip from Boston to Seattle on Interstate 90, and he needs to rent a car. His first inclination was to call up the various car rental agencies to find the best price for renting a vehicle from Boston to Seattle, but he has learned, much to his dismay, that this may not be an optimal strategy. Due to the plethora of car rental agencies and the various price wars among them, it might actually be cheaper to rent one car from Boston to Cleveland with Hertz, followed by a second car from Cleveland to Chicago with Avis, and so on, than to rent any single car from Boston to Seattle. Prof. Curly is not opposed to stopping in a major city along Interstate 90 to change rental cars; however, he does not wish to backtrack, due to time contraints. (In other words, a trip from Boston to Chicago, Chicago to Cleveland, and Cleveland to Seattle is out of the question.) Prof. Curly has selected n major cities along Interstate 90 and ordered them from East to West, where City 1 is Boston and City n is Seattle. He has constructed a table T[i, j] which for all i < j contains the cost of the cheapest single rental car from City i to City j. Prof. Curly wants to travel as cheaply as possible. Devise an algorithm which solves this problem, argue that your algorithm is correct, and analyze its running time and space requirements. Your algorithm or algorithms should output both the total cost of the trip and the various cities at which rental cars must be dropped off and/or picked up.

This first part of the film shows the early history of motion pictures. how accurate do you think the portrayal of the early motion picture industry is? why? is historical accuracy important in films and theatre productions? explain. in the scene where don is going to the party (starting at time code 14: 51), we see a street scene as he first rides with cosmo and then with kathy. what aspects did the filmmaker include to make the scene look and feel like don, cosmo, and kathy are riding in a car on a street? think about elements such as scenery, sound, props, lighting, and so on. a "talkie" picture is shown starting around time code 21: 15. how does the audience in the film react to the "talkie"? what influence do audiences have on film and theatre performances? how do film and theatre actors influence audiences? in the musical scene with cosmo (starting at time code 27: 00), how does the actor use props? what is the result? do you think the use of props effectively fulfilled the artistic vision for this musical number? why or why not?
