Two algorithms A and B spend respectively $T_A(n) = 9n^2 \log_{10}(n)$ and $T_B(n) = 81n^2$ microseconds to process an array of n items. Find a size $n_0$ for which the two algorithms have the same running time $T_A(n_0) = T_B(n_0)$ Select one: a. $n_0 = 10^6$ b. $n_0 = 10^2$ c. $n_0 = 10^8$ d. $n_0 = 10^9$

Write pseudo-code for each of the following two algorithms to raise an integer to an integer power. In both cases, assume n = 2m. Analyze the run-time complexity of each algorithm in terms of the number of multiplications performed (determine Θ(n)). (a) Nave: x^n = x * x^(n-1) x^0 = 1 (b) Repeated Squaring: x^n = (x^{n/2})^2 x^0 = 1

Suppose that you have two different algorithms for solving a problem. To solve a problem of size $n,$ the first algorithm uses exactly $n^{2} 2^{n}$ operations and the second algorithm uses exactly $n !$ operations. As $n$ grows, which algorithm uses fewer operations?
