Quiz #8: O G (N) F (N) O (G) G F (N) N Log (N

The document contains solutions to a quiz with two questions. The first question asks to estimate the big-O of two functions, one is O(n^2) and the other is O(n^3). The second question shows that d^2x^2 - xe = Θ(x^2) by bounding the expression between positive constants.

Quiz #8

SOLUTIONS

1. { 6 points } Give a big-O estimate for each of these functions. For the function
g(n) in your estimate that f (n) is O(g), use a simple function g of the smallest
order.
n2
(a) f (n) = n log(n4 + 1) + log n

   
n2 n2
f (n) = O(n log n) + O =O = O(n2 )
log n log n

2n
(b) f (n) = (n log n + n)2 + n!


f (n) = [O(n log n)]2 + O(1) = O n2 (log n)2 = O(n3 )

2. { 4 points } Show that


d2x2 − xe = Θ(x2 )

For x > 1 we have that


x2 x2 + x2 − x 2x2 − x d2x2 − xe 2x2
1= ≤ = ≤ ≤ =2
x2 x2 x2 x2 x2
d2x2 −xe
Thus, x2 is bounded by positive constants from below and above
which proves that d2x2 − xe = Θ(x2 ).
