- Consider the problem of making change for n cents using the fewest number of coins. Assume that we live in a country where coins come in k dierent denominations c1, c2, . . . , ck, such that the coin values are positive integers, k ≥ 1, and c1 = 1, i.e., there are pennies, so there is a solution for every value of n. For example, in case of the US coins, k = 4, c1 = 1, c2 = 5, c3 = 10, c4 = 25, i.e., there are pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters. To give optimal change in the US for n cents, it is sufficient to pick as many quarters as possible, then as many dimes as possible, then as many nickels as possible, and nally give the rest in pennies. Design a bottom-up (non-recursive) O(nk)-time algorithm that makes change for any set of k different coin denominations. Write down the pseudocode and analyze its running time. Argue why your choice of the array and the order in which you ll in the values is the correct one.arrow_forwardConsider the problem of making change for n cents using the fewest number of coins.

Prove that the coin changing problem exhibits optimal substructure. Design a recursive backtracking (brute-force) algorithm that returns the minimum number of coins needed to make change for n cents for any set of k different coin denominations. Write down the pseudocode and prove that your algorithm is correct.arrow_forwardSubject: computer science Show that: ¬q 1) p→¬q 2) (p∧r)∨s 3) s→(t∨u) 4) ¬t∧¬u where ¬ is denied.arrow_forward
- Let P2(x) be the least squares interpolating polynomial for f(x) := sin(πx) on the interval [0,1] (with weight function w(x) = 1). Determine nodes (x0,x1,x2) for the second-order Lagrange interpolating polynomial Pˆ2(x) so that P2 = Pˆ2. You are welcome to proceed theoretically or numerically using Python.arrow_forwardIn a hypothetical study of population dynamics, scientists have been tracking the number of rabbits and foxes on an island. The number of rabbits and foxes are determined once a year using high resolution infrared cameras and advanced computer vision methods.Each year, the number of rabbits and foxes are found to change by the following equations: $$ {\Delta}R = round( kr*R - krf*R*F ) $$ $$ {\Delta}F = round( -kf*F + kfr*R*F ) $$ where $ {\Delta}r $ and $ {\Delta} f $ are the changes in number of rabbits and foxes by the end of that year; and R and F are the population sizes at the end of the previous year. kr, krf, kf, kfr are coefficients that depend on the species of rabbits and foxes.With these dynamics, the scientists realize that one or both species can become extinct on the island. At the end of each year, if there are fewer than 2 animals of a kind, the scientists transfer rabbits and/or foxes to make sure there are at least 2 of each kind.Write a function…arrow_forwardWrite a short computer program to calculate CV for an Einstein solid and show these resultsas a graph of Cv/Nk vs. kT/epsilon.
