A positive integer N is a power if it is of the form q^k, where q, k are positive integers and k > 1. Give an efficient algorithm that takes as input a number N and determines whether it is a square, that is, whether it can be written as q^2 for some positive integer q. What is the running time of your algorithm? write the pseudocode for the algorithm.

Expert Solution

   pseudocode ://to find N is a square
isSquare(N):
   i=1
   while(i*i <N)://this loop breaks when i*i = N or i*i is greater than N
       i=i+1
   if(i*i ==N)://means N is a square
       return true
   else:
       return false
//complexity is :O(sqrt(N)) // O(N^(1/2))

Given a positive integer k and an array A[1..n] that contains the quiz scores of n students in ascending order, design a divide and conquer algorithm to efficiently count the number of students that have quiz scores in (100(i − 1)/k, 100i/k] for integers 1 ≤ i ≤ k. Let group i be the set of students with quiz scores in (100(i − 1)/k, 100i/k] for integers 1 ≤ i ≤ k. The counting result should be stored in G[1..k],...

Consider an n×n square board, where n is a fixed even positive integer. The board is divided into n 2 unit squares. We say that two different squares on the board are adjacent if they have a common side. N unit squares on the board are marked in such a way that every unmarked square on the board is adjacent to at least one marked square. Determine the smallest possible value of N.

Let c be a positive number. A differential equation of the form below where k is a positive constant, is called a doomsday equation because the exponent in the expression ky1+c is larger than the exponent 1 for natural growth. An especially prolific breed of rabbits has the growth term ky1.01. If 4 such rabbits breed initially and the warren has 28 rabbits after three months, then when is doomsday? (Doomsday is the finite time t=T such that . Round...
