Consider the following modification to the mergesortalgorithm: divide the input array into thirds (rather than halves), recursively sort each third, and finally combine the results using a three-way merge subroutine. What is the running time of this algorithm as a function of the length n of the input array, ignoring constant factors and lower-order terms? [hint: note that the mergesubroutine can still be implemented so that the number of operations is only linear in the sum of the input array lengths. ].

Astore sells four 118-pound ears of corn in a package for $3.59. the expression 3.59p represents the cost of the corn for a number of packages. what does the variable p represent?

In δabc shown below, bd over ba equals be over bc: triangle abc with segment de intersecting sides ab and bc respectively. the following flowchart proof with missing statements and reasons proves that if a line intersects two sides of a triangle and divides these sides proportionally, the line is parallel to the third side: top path, by given the ratio of line segments bd to ba is equal to the ratio of line segments be to bc. by space labeled by 2, space labeled by 1 occurs. by corresponding parts of similar triangles, angle bde is congruent to angle bac. by converse of the corresponding angles postulate, line segment de is parallel to line segment ac. bottom path, by reflexive property of quality, angle b is congruent to angle b. by space labeled by 2, space labeled by 1 occurs. by corresponding parts of similar triangles, angle bde is congruent to angle bac. by converse of the corresponding angles postulate, line segment de is parallel to line segment ac. which reason can be used to fill in the numbered blank space? 1. δabc ~ δbed 2. side-angle-side similarity postulate 1. δabc ~ δbed 2. side-side-side similarity theorem 1. δabc ~ δdbe 2. side-angle-side similarity postulate 1. δabc ~ δdbe 2. side-side-side similarity theorem
