7 elements will be compared to find 25 using linear search

<h3>What is linear search?</h3>

A linear search, also known as a sequential search, is a technique used in computer science to locate an element inside a list.
Up until a match is discovered or the entire list has been searched, each element of the list is successively checked.
In worst-case linear time, a linear search performs at most n comparisons, where n is the length of the list.
A linear search has an average case of n+1/2 comparisons if each element is equally likely to be searched, but the average case can be impacted if the search probability for each element differ.
Since other search algorithms and schemes, such the binary search algorithm and hash tables, provide substantially faster searching for all but short lists, linear search is rarely practical.

Suppose that the growth rate of children looks like a straight line if the height of a child is observed at the ages of 24 mont

lana [24]

Answer:

The supposition is incorrect.

Step-by-step explanation:

The growth rate of a child is not constant, so height versus time does not look like a straight line. Nothing is wrong with the prediction made using the false assumption. You can conclude anything you like when you start with a false premise.

-7 (-1-m)????????????????????

juin [17]

-7(-1-m)
First: You would distribute your -7 to your -1 and your -m
Note: A positive and a positive makes a negative.
You would get: 7m+7 as your answer

Solve and check: 3 x2 + 5x + 6 + x − 1 x + 2 = 7 x + 3

vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

3 $x^{2}$ -2x +5=0

Step-by-step explanation:

Combine liked terms:

3 $x^{2}$ +5x+x-1x+6+2=7x+3

3 $x^{2}$ +6x-1x+8=7x+3

3 $x^{2}$ +5x+8=7x+3

Subtract 3: 3 $x^{2}$ +5x+8-3=7x+3-3

3 $x^{2}$ +5x+5=7x

Now subtract 7x:

3 $x^{2}$ +5x+5-7x=7x-7x

If you want combine liked terms:

3 $x^{2}$ -7x+5x+5=0

3 $x^{2}$ -2x+5=0

Hope this helps!

A sample of students is taken from the school's A honor roll. The school estimates that there are actually 360 students on the A

aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

360 - Y

Step-by-step explanation:

From the information provided in the question, we will understand that the question lacks detailed information.

Given that:

The total number of actual students on the A honor roll = 360

To find the number of students on the A honor roll of 8th graders;

Let denote Y to represent the total number of students who exist on the A honor roll except for the 8th graders.

Then:

The number of 8th graders = all number of students on are on the A honor roll - Y

The number of 8th graders = 360 - Y

If Y is known, then the number of the 8th graders can be fully determined.

Calculate x Give your answer correct to 1 d.p. Х 35° 15 cm<br> it is a trigonometry question.

OlgaM077 [116]

Here we are finding x, given the angle and adjacent side. To find x we will use the function cos as cos = a/h.

So let's do cos(35°) = 15cm / x

cos(35°) = 0.8 (1 dp)

x = 15 cm / cos(35°)

x = 18.3 cm (1 dp)
