Math Problem Statement
- Show that the following equalities are true: (a) 5n 2 + 6n = Θ n 2 (b) n! = O (n n) (c) n 2 n
- 6 · (2n) = Θ n 2 n (d) n k+ϵ + n k log n = Θ n k+ϵ for all fixed k ⩾ 0 and ϵ >
Solution
To show that these equalities are true, we will employ the definitions of Big-O and Theta notation. Here's a step-by-step explanation for each part:
(a)
- Definition of -notation: means that there exist constants such that for all :
- Here, and .
- As grows large, the term dominates , meaning that:
- For sufficiently large , the linear term becomes negligible compared to , so grows asymptotically like .
Thus, .
(b)
- Definition of -notation: means that there exist constants and such that for all :
- Here, and .
- Stirling's approximation gives us an approximation for :
- grows slower than , meaning:
- This is because grows slower than , and hence we can find a constant such that for large .
Thus, .
(c) ( \frac{n^2}{n} + 6 \cdot 2^n = \Theta \left(
