Suppose you are choosing amongst the following three algorithms to solve the same computational problem: • Algorithm A solves the given problem of size n by dividing it into nine subproblems of size 3, recursively solving each subproblem, and combining the solutions in (n²) time. • Algorithm B solves the given problem of size n by dividing it into four subproblems of size 2, recursively solving each subproblem, and combining the solutions in (n³) time. • Algorithm C solves the given problem of size n by dividing it into five subproblems of size 2, recursively solving each subproblem, and combining the solutions in O(n) time. (a) What are the running times of each algorithm, A, B, and C, in O(n) notation? Please explain how you arrived at the answer for each algorithm. (b) Which algorithm would you prefer to solve the given computational problem.
