Computer Algorithm problems. I'm having trouble problems 3 and 4. May you please help me and show all work so I will understand. Send solution directly to my profile. Submit answer neatly handwritten or in a word document. May you please help me and show all work so I will understand. Send solution directly to my profile.

Consider the following functions for problems 1 and 2.
void selectionSort(int array)
{
sort(array, 0);
}
void sort(int array, int i)
{
if (i < array.length - 1)
{
int j = smallest(array, i);
int temp = array[i];
array[i] = array[j];
array[j] = temp;
sort(array, i + 1);
}
}
int smallest(int array, int j)
{
if (j == array.length - 1)
return array.length - 1;
int k = smallest(array, j + 1);
return array[j] < array[k] ? j : k;
} 1. Draw the recursion tree for selectionSort when it is called for an array of length 4.
Show the activations of selectionSort, sort and smallest in the tree.
2. Determine a formula that counts the numbers of nodes in the recursion tree. What is Big for execution time? Determine a formula that expresses the height of the tree. What is
the Big- for memory?
For problems 3 and 4, consider the following functions that implement the dequeue
operation for a priority queue that is implemented with a heap.
int pQueue;
int length;
int dequeue()
{
int node = 1;
int value = pQueue[--length];
int maxValue = pQueue[node];
int location = sift(node * 2, value);
pQueue[location] = value;
return maxValue;
}
int sift(int node, int value)
{ if (node <= length)
{
if (node < length && pQueue[node] < pQueue[node + 1])
node++;
if (value < pQueue[node])
{
pQueue[node / 2] = pQueue[node];
return sift(node * 2, value);
}
}
return node / 2;
} 3. Write the recurrence equation and initial conditions that expresses the execution time cost
for the sift function in the above algorithm. Draw the recursion tree assuming that n = 8.
Assume that n represents the number of nodes in the subtree at each step of the sifting
operation.
4. Determine the critical exponent for the recurrence equation in problem 3. Apply the Little
Master Theorem to solve that equation specifically stating which part of the theorem is
applied to arrive at the solution.
