Question

State TRUE or FALSE justifying your answer with proper reason.

a. 2𝑛^2 + 1 = 𝑂(𝑛^2 )

b. 𝑛^2 (1 + √𝑛) = 𝑂(𝑛^2 )

c. 𝑛^2 (1 + √𝑛) = 𝑂(𝑛^2 log 𝑛)

d. 3𝑛^2 + √𝑛 = 𝑂(𝑛 + 𝑛√𝑛 + √𝑛)

e. √𝑛 log 𝑛 = 𝑂(𝑛)

Answer 1

a.

True

$2𝑛^2 + 1\le 3n^2$

b.

False

$\displaystyle \lim_{n\to \infin} \frac{𝑛^2 (1 + \sqrt𝑛) }{n^2}=\infin$

c.

False

$\displaystyle \lim_{n\to \infin} \frac{𝑛^2 (1 + \sqrt𝑛) }{n^2logn}=\infin$

d.

False

$\displaystyle \lim_{n\to \infin} \frac{ 3𝑛^2 + \sqrt𝑛) }{𝑛 + 𝑛\sqrt𝑛 + \sqrt𝑛}=\infin$

e.

True

$\sqrt𝑛 log 𝑛\le n$
