Suppose that we are using a quick sort algorithm to sort the following vector 53, 3, 37, 78, 27, 19, 47, 81, 40, 77, 93, 29, 52, 15, 65 Suppose that the pivot element chosen is 52.  Which of the following would be a valid state of the vector after the first partitioning step (but before the recursive calls on the partitions)?

In the complexity analysis of an algorithm’s run time T(n), which of the following represents a lower bound on the algorithm’s growth rate?

What is the most appropriate complexity analysis (i.e. the closest fit) in terms of Big-O for the following operation? Inserting an element into the first slot of a vector.

An algorithm takes 0.5 ms (milliseconds) for input size 1024.  Approximately how long (in milliseconds) will it take for input size 32,768 if the running time analysis for the algorithm is

Merge sort cannot be sorted in place — it needs an extra container to store results.

Suppose we have the following tree: Which of the following represents the printing of the tree’s nodes using an in-order traversal?
