Answer: the height of the tree would be 10 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

A tree and its shadow is proportional to Harry and his shadow. This means that

Height of the tree/height of the tree's shadow = Harry's height/height of his shadow

If Harry is 6 feet tall, his shadow is 9 feet and the tree's shadow is 15 feet long, then the height of the tree would be

6/9 = height of tree/15

height of tree = (6 × 15)/9 = 10 feet.

Suppose that you have two different algorithms for solving a problem of size n. The first algorithm uses exactly n(log n) operat
Mumz [18]

Answer:

Algorithm 1 uses:

n*log(n) operations.

While algorithm 2 uses:

n^(3/2) operations.

We want to see, as n grows, which algorithm uses fewer operations.

So we would want to first solve:

n*log(n) = n^(3/2)

This will give us the exact value of n such that the number of operations is the same in both algorithms.

dividing both sides by n we get:

log(n) = n^(3/2)/n = n^(3/2 - 1) = n^(1/2)

where we can use:

log(n) = ln(n)/ln(10)

ln(n) = ln(10)*n^(1/2)

This equation actually has no solutions.

This happens because the right side is always larger than the left side.

Then, the same thing happens for our two initial equations:

n^(3/2) is always larger than n*log(n), as you can see in the graph below, where n^(3/2)  is represented with the orange graph:

So we can conclude that the fist algorithm uses less operations as n grows.

According to the commutative property of multiplication, changing the order of components has no effect on the product. The correct option is B.

<h3>What is the commutative property of multiplication?</h3>

According to the commutative property of multiplication, changing the order of components has no effect on the product.

For example: 4 × 8 = 8 × 4 = 32

The equation that correctly shows the Commutative Property of Multiplication is,

5 × 1 3 = 5 × 1 3

Hence, the correct option is B.
