. Suppose we have a relation R (x ,y ,z), where the pair of attributes x and y together form the key. Attribute x ranges from 1 to 100, and y ranges from 1 to 1000. For each x there are records with 100 different values of y, and for each y there are records with 10 different values of x. Note that there are thus 10,000 records in R. We wish to use a multiple-key index that will help us to answer queries of the form: SELECT z FROM R WHERE x = C AND y = D; where C and D are constants. Assume that blocks can hold ten key-pointer pairs, and we wish to create dense indexes at each level, perhaps with sparse higher-level indexes above them, so that each index starts from a single block. Also assume that initially all index and data blocks are on disk. a) How many disk I/O ’s are necessary to answer a query of the above form if the first index is on x? b) How many disk I/O ’s are necessary to answer a query of the above form if the first index is on y? c) Suppose you were allowed to buffer 11 blocks in memory at all times. Which blocks would you choose, and would you make x or y the first index, if you wanted to minimize the number of additional disk I/O ’s needed?

Show that there is a language a ⚆ {0, 1} â— with the following properties: 1. for all x â a, |x| ≤ 5. 2. no dfa with fewer than 9 states recognizes a. hint: you don’t have to define a explicitly; just show that it has to exist. count the number of languages satisfying (1) and the number of dfas satisfying (2), and argue that there aren’t enough dfas to recognize all those languages. to count the number of languages satisfying (1), think about writing down all the strings of length at most 5, and then to define such a language, you have to make a binary decision for each string about whether to include it in the language or not. how many ways are there to make these choices? to count the number of dfas satisfying (2), consider that a dfa behaves identically even if you rename all the states, so you can assume without loss of generality that any dfa with k states has the state set {q1, q2, . . , qk}. now think about how to count how many ways there are to choose the other four parts of the dfa.
