Write an algorithm called locate (with running time log n, that accept a set of integer numbers and another single number and finds out whether the number is found in the set of integers. If it exist, it should print its index in the list otherwise should print negative one (-1)

Hi there. I am trying to find out what leveling algorithm is being use for an endless defense as waves progress. I have a sample of the first 10 waves and then spot waves at 16 and 50. If you need more information than this i can get it for you. if you do not deal with this kind of question please let me know as well.

Sample
Wave number : Monster level
1 : 25
2 : 25
3 : 26
4 : 27
5 : 28
6 : 29
7 : 31
8 : 32
9 : 34
10 : 36
16 : 50
50 : 213

A* algorithm uses f' = g + h' to estimate
the cost of getting from the initial state
to the goal state, where g is a measure
of the cost of getting from initial state
to the current node and the function h'
is an estimate of the cost of getting
from the current node to the goal state.
To find a path involving the fewest
number of steps, we should set
(A) g = 1 (B) g = 0
(C) h' = 0 (D) h' = 1

If 650 grams is three quarters of a jar and 475 grams is half of the jar. Find the mass of the empty jar?

use warshall's algorithm to find the transitive closures of the given relation on {a,b,c,d,e}
{(a,c),(a,e),(b,a),(b,b),(b,c),(c,c),(d,b),(d,c),(e,a),(e,c),(e,d),(e,e)}

One machine can process at most one job at a time. The jobs
are of diferent durations, all in the range (0,1] (after suitable scaling). A job,
once started must be completed without interruption. All jobs are available
at time t = 0. The time (half-)line ft : t ¸ 0g is composed of intervals of
length 2: [0,2), [2,4), [4,6). We recall that [4,6), for example, is the set
ft : 4 · t < 6g. Each interval is divided into an active region when jobs may
be started and a passive region when jobs, already started may be completed
but no new jobs may be commenced. The active regions are: [0,1], [2,3], [4,5],
The passive regions are: (1,2), (3,4), (5,6). Thus, for example, if a job
of duration 0.6, say, starts at t = 2:7 and thus finishes at t = 3:3, the machine
must remain idle until time 4. That is, the next job can commence at t = 4
but not for any t such that 3:3 · t < 4.

Suppose that we are given the following eight jobs with durations
f0:45; 0:58; 0:8; 0:2; 0:15; 0:1; 0:5; 0:7g. Is it possible to complete these jobs us-
ing two intervals only?

I HAVE 6 DICE. EACH DICE HAS THE WORD "CAR" ON THREE SIDES, AND THE WORD "BLANK" ON THE OTHER THREE SIDES. AFTER ROLLING ALL 6 DICE; I CAN PICK UP THE DICE THAT DON'T
SAY CAR AND ROLL THEM AGAIN. I HAVE A TOTAL OF THREE ROLLS TO TRY TO HAVE THE WORD "CAR" APPEAR ON ALL SIX DICE. WHAT ARE THE PROBABILITIES OF DOING THIS?

JWH company is known for its shoes designs. The company is expanding and have to open a new branch in Johor which will cost RM400000. The company received two different offers, one from Bank A and the other from Bank B. You have been approached to advise the company of the financing options that have been identified to facilitate this expansion. You need to perform the necessary quantitative analyses(as given below) and prepare a report for JWH company, where you describe your findings and make appropriate recommendations.
(a) Bank A charges an interest of 12% per annum compounded quarterly.
a- Calculate the quarterly payments that have to be made by the company on this loan.( To 2 decimal Place.
