Questions and Answers

What is the first step in applying the recursion tree method to the recurrence $T(n) = 2T(\frac{n}{2}) + 4n$?

  • Draw the recursion tree. (correct)
  • Estimate the height of the tree.
  • Identify the base case.
  • Calculate the total contributions from leaf nodes.
  • What is the contribution from the leaves at the bottom of the recursion tree for $T(n) = 2T(\frac{n}{2}) + 4n$?

  • $4n$
  • $4n^{\log_2 2}$
  • $4n^2$
  • $4n \log n$ (correct)
  • How does one compute the height of the recursion tree for the recurrence $T(n) = 2T(\frac{n}{2}) + 4n$?

  • $\log n$ (correct)
  • $n$
  • $\frac{n}{2}$
  • $2n$
  • What characterizes the expansion of the recursion tree for $T(n) = 2T(\frac{n}{2}) + 4n$?
