Question

A particular problem is currently not able to be practically solved by using an algorithm. Which of the following statements about the problem could possibly be true? a. No algorithm has yet been developed which would solve this problem, but it is possible one may be developed in the future. b. An algorithm has been developed which would solve this problem but technology is not yet available which would compute this algorithm fast enough to be practicable. c. It is impossible to develop an algorithm which would solve this problem.

Answer 1

Answer:

a and b

Explanation:

According to my research on information technology, I can say that based on the information provided within the question both answers a and b are valid answers. An algorithm may not exist yet or one does but technology cannot run it. Both of these are valid, but the last answer is not because "impossible" does not really exist, since anything can be "impossible" until somebody proves otherwise. In information technology new innovations are appearing on a daily basis and some problems thought to have been "impossible" are later solved with a very simple algorithm.

I hope this answered your question. If you have any more questions feel free to ask away at Brainly.

Answer 2

Answer:

b. An algorithm has been developed which would solve this problem but technology is not yet available which would compute this algorithm fast enough to be practicable.

Explanation:

The keyword here is pratically.

There are problems of which there are algorithms to solve, however they have exponential complexity. This means that the algorithm takes a very very long time to run(like decades).

So the correct answer is:

b. An algorithm has been developed which would solve this problem but technology is not yet available which would compute this algorithm fast enough to be practicable.
