Your instructor will provide you with a picture of a structure created using K’Nex™ pieces. Describe the steps necessary to create the structure in the picture. When you are finished, hand your algorithm to the instructor and wait for further instruction.
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
Develop algorithm to create the structure of K’Nex pieces in the picture.
Explanation of Solution
Calculation:
The knowns, unknowns and assumptions of the above mentioned problem, that is, to construct the K’Nex structure.
Knowns:
- Structure of K’Nex available in pictorial format.
- Information about different pieces of K’Nex.
- Amount of K’Nex pieces needed for the structure.
Unknowns:
- Steps to construct the K’Nex structure.
Assumptions:
- The structure made from K’Nex components.
Algorithm:
- Observe the K’Nex structure’s picture carefully.
- List the components needed to construct the structure conveniently.
- Gather the pieces required for the structure.
- For any other pieces required follow the Master Material List for the purchasing information.
- Store the pieces collected for the structure in a Ziploc quart-size freezer bags.
- Construct the structure according to the picture provided.
- Start building the structure step by step for better clarification and accuracy.
- Compare the structure made with the provided picture for reduction of errors.
Conclusion:
Thus, the algorithm to create the structure of K’Nex pieces in the picture is discussed above.

I wanted to create two spheres that overlap each other in MATLAB. The image has my code and results. I only see one sphere in the results. Why is that? Can you give me the code that will create two overlaying spheres in one plot?
hi ive have nearly completed this model but i am stuck on a couple last parts. Firstly, the holes on the top need to be placed 30 degrees from the y axis as shown in the handout but also the middle part is meant to have triangular "supports" rather than rectangular and im not sure how to cut them down. This is in autodesk inventor but any help here would be appreciated Once again just the top holes being moved 30 degrees and the support being cut down to the triangular shape shown in the handout
In the automotive industry, supercars are highly accredited with how they are manufacture; from the
type of car chassis used to the type of materials employed. Often enough, companies like BMW,
Mercedes & Audi produces supercars that exemplifies a better reliability compared to other automotive
manufacturing companies. This is because they pay close attention to the details on how the car is
manufactured; right from raw materials to a finished supercar. The task given to you is to watch the
video link provided below & explain the electrostatic process acquired for the two different models of
BMW vehicles.

- We have designed a divide-and-conquer algorithm that runs on an input of size n. This algorithm works by spending O(1) time splitting the problem in half, then does a recursive call on each half, then spends O(n2 ) time combining the solutions to the recursive calls. On small inputs, the algorithm takes a constant amount of time. We want to see how long this algorithm takes, in terms of n to perform the task. (a) First, write a recurrence relation that corresponds to the time-complexity of the above divide and conquer algorithm. (b) Then, solve the relation to come with the worst-case time taken for the algorithm.
