Question:

Suppose we implement the tree-based union-find data structure, but we don’t use the union-by-size heuristic nor the path-compression heuristic. Show that the total running time for performing a sequence of n union and find operations, starting with n singleton sets, is Θ(n2) in this case. That is, provide a proof that it is O(n2) and an example that requires Ω(n2) time.
