An integer n is said to be Pythagorean if there exist two nonzero integers x and y such that x2 + y2 = n2 . Present an O(n) time algorithm to check if a given integer n is Pythagorean or not. Assume that you can nd the square root of any number in O(1) time.

Expert Solution

def isPythagorian(n):
1. Take 2 variables, left and right.
2. initialize left with 1 and right as n.
3. While left <= right, Keep doing below:
        3.1. Find the squared sum ss of left and right as: ss = left**2 + right**2
        3.2 if ss is same as n, Then Yes, The output that given number is pythagorean and end.
        3.3 Else if ss is less than n, Then increment left by 1
        3.4 Else if ss is more than n, Then decrement right by 1.
4. Output that number is not a pythagorean number.
5. End.

this algorithm is an O(N) algorithm, Since We take 2 variables left and right.. Left goes from 1 to N, while right goes from N to 1, till the time they do not cross each other.. Since, In each time unit, we are covering one unit towards left or to right, Hence For a number N, it is a O(N) algorithm.

The least common multiple of nonzero integers a and b is the smallest positive integer m such that a|m and b|m. It is denoted [a, b], or sometimes [a, b] for short. Prove the following: 1) If a|k and b|k, then [a, b]|k. 2) If gcd(a, b) = 1, then [a, b] =ab 3) If c >0,then [ca, cb] =c·[a, b]. 4) If a >0 and b >0,then [a, b] =ab / gcd(a, b).

A Pythagorean triplet is a set of positive integers (x, y, z) such that x2 + y2 = z2. Write an interactive script that asks the user for three positive integers (x, y, z, in that order). If the three numbers form a Pythagorean triplet the script should a) display the message ‘The three numbers x, y, z, form a Pythagorean triplet’ b) plot the corresponding triangle using red lines connecting the triangle edges. Hint: place the x value on...
