Consider the following recurrence for a function T that takes on nonnegative values and is defined on integers ≥ 1:T(n) ≤ 5 if 1 ≤ n ≤ 4 or ≤T(7n/10) + T(n/5) + 3n if n > 4. Prove that T(n) is O(n). You should present a particular constant c and prove that T(n) ≤ c · n for all n ≥ 1.
Motivation: This recurrence actually comes up in the following situation. Say we wish to find the median of n distinct elements, using as few comparisons as possible. Recall that the median is an element with rank the floor of n/2 .More generally, say we wish to find the k-th smallest of n elements. We could sort the n numbers but this takes about n log n comparisons. Instead we do the following which, by the theorem proven in this question, uses O(n) comparisons:
Divide the elements up into groups of 5 (don't worry now about what to do if n isn't divisible by 5); find themedian of each group of 5, using a linear in n number of comparisons in total. This gives us about n/5 median points. Recursively find the median of these median points using about T(n/5) comparisons; call this element b. Using a linear in n number of comparisons, compare every element to b; let S1 be the set of elements ≤ b, and let S2 be the set of elements > b. Because of the way b was chosen, each of S1 and S2 must have at most 7n/10 elements.If k ≤ |S1|, then recursively find the k-th smallest element of S1, otherwise recursively find the (k - |S1|)-th smallest element of S2; this takes at most T(7n/10) comparisons.

Suppose that a 10% decrease in the price of a product has resulted in a 30% increase in the quantity demanded for a product. Is demand elastic or inelastic in this price range? Explain and demonstrate using the elasticity formula.
A purely competitive firm finds that the market price for its product is $30.00. It has a fixed cost of $100.00 and a variable cost of $17.50 per unit for the first 50 units and then $35.00 per unit for all successive units. What is the average varia..
If interest rates differ between two countries, it is an indication that the financial markets are not in equilibrium, and that investment flows should be taking place between the two countries. Agree? Disagree? Explain.
