You are given the following six numbers:

183 280 281 370 376 482

You are told to insert these six numbers, in any order, into a vector of integers. This vector will then be sorted in ascending order using a variation of quicksort that always chooses the last element of the vector as the pivot. How many distinct insertion orders of these six integers would cause this variation of quicksort to run in the worst-case in terms of integer comparisons?

Hint: the worst-case happens when the pivot chosen is always the smallest or the largest element at every step of the quicksort algorithm. How many times will you have to choose the pivot here?

A) 2

B) 32

C) 36

D) 64

E) 72

What characteristic of long period comets suggest they come directly from the oort cloud?

When designing content as part of your content marketing strategy, what does the "think" stage represent in the "see, think, do, care" framework?

:you areto design the controller for alight that functions both as an ordinary light and also as a motion activated light and alarm. a.if the manual switch s is on, then the light l is on. b.besides the manual switch, there is a motion detector, m1, which activatesthis light.c.if motion is detected but the light is on anyway because s is on, only then a secondoutput a, an alarm, is turned on. d.the disable switch, d, disables the motion activated light and alarmbut leaves manual control operation of the light using switch s.(i)read the problem statement and clearly identify the inputs and outputs for the circuit you are designing. (ii)create the truth table for this system; include the light, alarm, switch, disable, and the motion sensor.(iii)draw a schematic of this system.
