Part II
1. (10%) For each of the following questions, write T for true and F for false. You do not need to provide any reasoning.
  (a) For a sequence of operations to be performed on a data structure, if the ith operation costs i when i is an exact power of 2, and costs 1 otherwise, then the average cost of each operation is 1.
  (b) Whether a graph has any cycle can be determined in linear time.
  (c) If all edge weights of a connected, undirected graph are distinct, then the minimum spanning tree of the graph is unique.
  (d) The transitive closure of a directed graph can be computed in time where is the number of vertices in the graph.
  (e) Any NP-complete problem is also an NP-hard problem.
     
2. (12%) What is the running time T(n) for the following algorithm?
  (a) Merge sort (worst case)
  (b) Randomized quick sort (expected)
  (c) Binary search (worst case)
  (d) Number Selection (worst case)
     
3. (3%) Is the array [ 30 25 7 18 24 8 4 9 12 22 5] a binary max-heap? If it is not a max-heap, then modify it to become a max-heap.
     
4. (10%) We are given a directed graph on which each edge has an associated value , which is a real number in the range that represents the reliability of a communication channel form vertex u to vertex v. We interpret as the probability that the cannel from u to v will not fail, and we assume that these probabilities are independent. Give an efficient algorithm to find the most reliable path between two given vertices.
     
5. (15%) You have just discovered a breakthrough result in number theory that will quickly become world-famous, but there is one step left for you to complete. You need to find a fast algorithm to tell whether a number X is a perfect power. That is, you want a fast algorithm which, on an input integer X that is n bits long, finds whether there exist integers B 2 and e 2 such that X = Be. If so your algorithm should output the values of B and e.
  (a) If X = Be is a perfect power, how large can e be? Express your answer as a function of n.
  (b) Suppose that your computer had an O(1)-time operation ROOT(M,r) that returns the rth root of an integer M. if that root is an integer (and returns otherwise). Give an algorithm to solve the perfect-power problem and analyze its running time.
