... Section 1.1 uses a linear search to scan (backward) through the sorted subarray A[1 … j – 1]. Can we use a binary search (see Exercise 1.3-5) instead to improve the overall worst-case running time of insertion sort to (n lg n)? No, because the array must already be sorted for binary search to work. ...

... In this section, you will: • Evaluate a polynomial using the Remainder Theorem. • Use the Factor Theorem to solve a polynomial equation. • Use the Rational Zero Theorem to nd rational zeros. • Find zeros of a polynomial function. • Use the Linear Factorization Theorem to nd polynomials with given ...

Solution
... the other hand, two subsets of S having different minimum elements are not related. Therefore, each equivalence class of has a one-to-one correspondence with an element of S (the minimum element of every member in the class). Since S contains k elements, there are exactly k equivalence classes, i. ...
