Assume we are given 12 gold bars numbered 1 to 12 where 11 bars are pure gold and one is counterfeit: either gold-plated lead (which is heavier than gold), or gold-plated tin (lighter than gold). The problem is to find the counterfeit bar and what metal it is made of using only a balance scale. Any number of bars can be placed on each side of the scale, and each use of the scale produces one of three outcomes: either the left side is heavier, or the two sides are the same weight, or the right side is heavier. a. Give a decision tree lower bound for the (worst case) number of weighings that must be performed by any algorithm solving this problem.
b. Design an algorithm that solves this problem with (worst case) number of weighings equal to the lower bound you found in (a). Present your algorithm by drawing a decision tree, rather than pseudo-code.
c. Alter the problem slightly to allow the possibility that all 12 bars are pure gold. Thus there is one additional possible verdict: "all gold". Make a minor change to your algorithm in part (b) so that it gives a correct answer to this more general problem.

One main difference is that a graphing calculator can graph out functions while a scientific calculator cannot. there are some scientific calculations that have built-in table functions, but generally (and obviously) scientific calculators are not built to be able to graph. graphing calculators have larger screens to accommodate for their eponymous use.furthermore, graphing calculators are usually more advanced. because of the specifications needed (like ram, processor) to be able to generate graphics, graphing calculators are able to support more sophisticated functions/features. some graphing calculators have a computer-algebra system, like the ti-89 titanium. some support spreadsheets. some even support programmable games. some allow for connectivity with a computer to install new programs.we have to consider another major difference: the price. graphing calculations are way more expensive than scientific calculators. i believe this has to do with the history behind graphing calculators. for example, texas instruments basically holds a monolopy over graphing calculators. school keep using tis because that is what they are familiar with.
