Question

6. Give as good a big-O estimate as possible for each of these functions.

a) (n^2 + 8)(n + 1)

b) (n log n + n^2)(n^3 + 2)

c) (n! + 2^n)(n^3 + log(n^2 + 1))

Solution

a) (n^2 + 8)(n + 1)

The highest degree term in this function is n^3 (from n^2 * n), so the big-O estimate is O(n^3).

b) (n log n + n^2)(n^3 + 2)

The highest degree term in this function is n^5 (from n^2 * n^3), so the big-O estimate is O(n^5).

c) (n! + 2n)(n^3 + log(n^2 + 1))

The highest degree term in this function is n! * n^3, but n! grows faster than any polynomial, so the big-O estimate is O(n! * n^3). However, we usually simplify this to O(n!).
