Answer:

Explanation:

The minimum depth occurs for the path that always takes the smaller portion of the

split, i.e., the nodes that takes α proportion of work from the parent node. The first

node in the path(after the root) gets α proportion of the work(the size of data

processed by this node is αn), the second one get (2)

so on. The recursion bottoms

out when the size of data becomes 1. Assume the recursion ends at level h, we have

(ℎ) = 1

h = log 1/ = lg(1/)/ lg = − lg / lg

Maximum depth m is similar with minimum depth

(1 − )() = 1

m = log1− 1/ = lg(1/)/ lg(1 − ) = − lg / lg(1 − )

What has impacted the world more: The initial creation of telephone or a smart cellphone? Explain your reasoning!
-BARSIC- [3]
If this is on personal opinion, I would say the initial creation of the telephone. Even though a smartphone practically kickstarted a whole era to technology that is still going on till this day, it was the telephone that started this all. If it wasn’t for the idea to create a phone that is more advanced than a box attached to the wall, none of these advancements would’ve happened at all. (Although that is uncertain, things do tend to have a way of working out in the end. If someone didn’t invent it, another person would’ve thought of it sooner or later.) But that is only if we’re talking long term, which I prefer because there was no limit to when the results of impact started in the prompt stated above, yet if we were to speak short term and the faster one, the credit would go to the smart cellphone. But we aren’t, because the question never specified ;)

Answer:

The energy source that does not use heat in the process of converting it to electricity is;

c. Sunlight

Explanation:

In converting Sunlight energy source to electricity, the photons in the light from the Sun excite electrons in the solar cells silicon layers, such that the electrons travel from n-type silicon layer to the p-type silicon layer creating electric potential energy that does work as the electrons flow back in the form of electricity from the p-type to the n-type silicon layer through an external circuit
