Consider the B+ tree shown in Figure 10.11.
1. Identify a list of five data entries such that:
(a) Inserting the entries in the order shown and then deleting them in the opposite order (e.g., insert a, insert b, delete b, delete a) results in the original tree.
(b) Inserting the entries in the order shown and then deleting them in the opposite order (e.g., insert a, insert b, delete b, delete a) results in a different tree.
2. What is the minimum number of insertions of data entries with distinct keys that will cause the height of the (original) tree to change from its current value (of 1) to 3?
3. Would the minimum number of insertions that will cause the original tree to increase to height 3 change if you were allowed to insert duplicates (multiple data entries with the same key), assuming that overflow pages are not used for handling duplicates?
