Explanation of Solution

Basic operations:

The basic operation is the initial step in the algorithm and this is otherwise called as basic step.

  • Normally, the algorithm executes the basic step in constant time rather than considering about the size of the input.
  • So, it means that size of the bound does not affect the efficiency of the operations.
  • The complexity of an algorithm can be found out by finding the number of basic steps required for an input.

Comparing the efficiency of an algorithm:

In the given question, one algorithm requires “10n” basic operations to process an input

A certain computer algorithm executes twice as many operations when it is run with an input of size k as when it is run with an input of size k – 1 (where k is an integer that is greater than 1). When the algorithm is run with an input of size 1, it executes seven operations. How many operations does it execute when it is run with an input of size 26? For each integer n 2 1, let s, -1 be the number of operations the algorithm executes when it is run with an input of size n. Then s, = and s = for each integer k 2 1. Therefore, So, S1, S21 -Select--- with constant Select--- |, which is So, for every integer n 2 0, s, It follows that for an input of size 26, the number of ... is operations executed by the algorithm is s which equals ---Select--- v
Two algorithms A, B sort the same problem. When you go through each algorithm and break them down into their primitive operations, each can be represented as below                              A =   n4 + 100n2 + 10n + 50                               B = 10n3 + 2n2  + nlogn + 200   For very large values of n which of these algorithms explain why B   will run in the shortest time to solve the problem

For each integernz 1, let s,-1 be the number of operations the algorithm executes when it is run with an input of size n. Then for each integer 2 1. Therefore, So, S3. Sz. is -Select- and s,= with constant Select- ,which is . So, for every integer n 2 0, s, = It follows that for an input of size 24, the number of operations executed by the algorithm is s -Select-v which equals Need Heln? Desd
