task-1,2,3
1. There are n marble balls, one of which is made of a different material. You have access to a Comparator that can compare two inputs (of an arbitrary number of marble balls) and determine if the two inputs are the same or not. The problem is to find the single marble ball that is different from the others while minimizing the number of times you access the Comparator. Design an efficient algorithm based on prune-and-search to solve the problem. Derive the time complexity of your algorithm.
2. Show how to maintain a dynamic set Q of numbers that supports the operation MIN-GAP, which gives the magnitude of the difference of the two closest numbers in Q. For example, if Q ={1, 5, 9, 15, 18, 22}, then MIN-GAP.Q/ returns 18 – 15 = 3, since 15 and 18 are the two closest numbers in Q. Make the operations INSERT, DELETE, SEARCH, and MIN-GAP as efficient as possible, and analyze their running times.

Relevant Cost/Sell or Process Further:
Come-Clean Corporation produces a variety of cleaning compounds and solutions for both industrial and household use. While most of its products are processed independently, a few are related, such as the company’s Grit 337 and its Sparkle silver polish.
Grit 337 is a coarse cleaning powder with many industrial uses. It costs $1.60 a pound to make, and it has a selling price of $6.80 a pound. A small portion of the annual production of Grit 337 is retained in the factory for further processing. It is combined with several other ingredients to form a paste that is marketed as Sparkle silver polish. The silver polish sells for $5.00 per jar.
This further processing requires one-fourth pound of Grit 337 per jar of silver polish. The additional direct variable costs involved in the processing of a jar of silver polish are:
Other ingredients $0.60
Direct labor $1.40
————————————-
Total direct cost $2.00
————————————-
Overhead costs associated with processing the silver polish are:
Variable manufacturing overhead cost 25% of direct labor cost
Fixed manufacturing overhead cost (per month)
Production supervisor $3,200
Depreciation of mixing equipment $1,500
The production supervisor has no duties other than to oversee production of the silver polish. The mixing equipment is special-purpose equipment acquired specifically to produce the silver polish. It can produce up to 6,500 jars of polish per month. Its resale value is negligible and it does not wear out through use.
Advertising costs for the silver polish total $3,800 per month. Variable selling costs associated with the silver polish are 5% of sales.
Due to a recent decline in the demand for silver polish, the company is wondering whether its continued production is advisable. The sales manager feels that it would be more profitable to sell all of the Grit 337 as a cleaning powder.
Required:
1. How much incremental revenue does the company earn per jar of polish by further processing Grit 337 rather than selling it as a cleaning powder? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
2. How much incremental contribution margin does the company earn per jar of polish by further processing Grit 337 rather than selling it as a cleaning powder? (Round your intermediate calculations and final answer to 2 decimal places.)
3. How many jars of silver polish must be sold each month to exactly offset the avoidable fixed costs incurred to produce and sell the polish? (Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places.)
4. If the company sells 8,700 jars of polish, what is the financial advantage (disadvantage) of choosing to further process Grit 337 rather than selling is as a cleaning powder? (Enter any “disadvantages” as a negative value. Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places.)
5. If the company sells 10,900 jars of polish, what is the financial advantage (disadvantage) of choosing to further process Grit 337 rather than selling is as a cleaning powder? (Enter any “disadvantages” as a negative value. Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places.)

Respond helpfully to two classmates’ posting in a paragraph of at least five sentences by asking questions, reflecting on your own experience, challenging assumptions, pointing out something new you learned, offering suggestions. Write to help them focus and say something that you think would help them say something that would be valuable. You should make your initial post by Thursday evening so your classmates have an opportunity to respond before Sunday.at midnight when all three posts are due.
It is important that you use your own words, that you cite your sources, that you comply with the instructions regarding length of your post and that you reply to two classmates in a substantive way (not ‘nice post’ or the like). Your goal is to help your colleagues write better. Do not use spinbot or other word replacement software. It usually results in nonsense and is not a good way to learn anything. Please do not use attachments unless requested

Describe in-depth, one future computing technology, trend or prediction and tell for how it will affect the way we work, live and collaborate. How will businesses and jobs be affected?
Examples: (You do not have to choose one of these topics.)
Give a general outlook for the technology, then give information that is industry specific. If you write about robotics, give an overview, then tell how robotics will affect health care, for example. How might robotics affect the field you are planning to pursue? Will robots be able to write creative code?
Other examples; Describe how artificial intelligence will affect privacy and personal freedoms. (This is already happening.) With AI, will computers ever be able to read our thoughts? Will we ever be able to make video recordings through our eyes? So, your topic can be a bit out there, as long as you have supporting resources. Have fun with this.
