Suppose you have this array of five integers: int[] list {2, 5, 4, 8, 3}. if a bubble sort is being used, which index of the array will the number 8 be in after the first pass through the algorithm?

Array list: ⇒ 2, 5, 4, 8, 3

Sort the array from lowest number to greatest number using bubble sort.

First pass:
2 , 5 , 4 , 8 , 3 
2 , 4 , 5 , 8 , 3 ⇒⇒⇒ Swap since 5 > 4
2 , 4 , 5 , 8 , 3
2 , 4 , 5 , 3 , 8 ⇒⇒⇒ Swap since 8 > 3

∴ The index of the number 8 after the first pass = 5

Question:

Which is the value of the expression

A. 1

B. 2

C. 8

D. 10

B. 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Required

Evaluate

Split Fraction

From Laws of Indices

Applying this law to the above expression, we have

Also, from Laws of Indices

Applying this law to the above expression, we have

Multiply 10 by 1

Hence,
