(a) (Nothing to prove here) Suppose that p is the (k+1)-th smallest element in A, so that the pivot
appears in B at B[k]. In this case, the length of Ao is k and the length of A₁ is n - k- 1, and so
the expected runtime of the recursive calls made in Step 4 is Tk + Tn-k-1. Because the pivot was
chosen randomly, the probability that p is indeed the (k+1)-th smallest element in A is 1/n for
all k = 0,..., n - 1. Therefore, the expected runtime of the recursive calls is 1/2 h=(Tk + Tn-k-1).
Finally, choosing the pivot takes time O(1) and the filter step takes time O(n). Thus, Tr satisfies:
nk=0

Tn = cn +=(Tk + Tn_k_1).

This will be our starting point. Also, note T₁ = 1.
(b) Prove n Tn = cn² +2=Tk.
