To solve this problem, we'll evaluate each sequence of functions in the image and check if they are arranged in ascending order of their growth rates.

Sequence 1:

1. $\sqrt{\log n}$
2. $\log(\log n)$
3. $2^{\log n}$
4. $n \log n$

Analysis:

• $\sqrt{\log n}$ grows slower than $\log(\log n)$.
• $2^{\log n} = n$ (since $2^{\log n} = n$).
• $n \log n$ is a combination of linear and logarithmic growth, and grows faster than $n$.

This sequence is not correctly ordered because $\sqrt{\log n}$ actually grows slower than $\log(\log n)$.

Sequence 2:

1. $(\log n)^{100}$
2. $n^{\frac{1}{100}}$
3. $2^{\log 2n^{\frac{3}{2}}}$
4. $n \log n$

Analysis:

• $(\log n)^{100}$ is a large logarithmic term, but still grows slower than any polynomial.
• $n^{\frac{1}{100}}$ is a very slowly growing polynomial.
• $2^{\log 2n^{\frac{3}{2}}}$ simplifies to $n^{\frac{3}{2}}$, which grows faster than $n \log n$.
• $n \log n$ grows faster than $n^{\frac{1}{100}}$ but slower than $n^{\frac{3}{2}}$.

This sequence is not correctly ordered because $n^{\frac{1}{100}}$ should come after $(\log n)^{100}$.

Sequence 3:

1. $\sqrt{n}$
2. $2^{\sqrt{\log n}}$
3. $n^{\frac{1}{4}}$
4. $(\log n)^3$
5. $n^2$

Analysis:

• $\sqrt{n}$ grows faster than $2^{\sqrt{\log n}}$, since $2^{\sqrt{\log n}}$ is very slow compared to polynomial functions.
• $n^{\frac{1}{4}}$ grows slower than $\sqrt{n}$ but faster than $(\log n)^3$.
• $n^2$ is the fastest growing term here.

This sequence is not correctly ordered because $2^{\sqrt{\log n}}$ should come before $\sqrt{n}$.

Sequence 4:

1. $2^{\sqrt{\log n}}$
2. $\sqrt{n}$
3. $n(\log n)^2$
4. $n^{\frac{i}{2}}$

Analysis:

• $2^{\sqrt{\log n}}$ is very slow compared to $\sqrt{n}$.
• $\sqrt{n}$ is slower than $n(\log n)^2$.
• $n^{\frac{i}{2}}$ has an ambiguous term, likely intended to grow as a power of $n$, but it should be slower than $n(\log n)^2$ for any small $i$.

This sequence is incorrectly ordered due to the ambiguity with $n^{\frac{i}{2}}$.

Conclusion:

None of the sequences provided in the image are correctly ordered in ascending order of growth rate.

1. Can you explain how to determine the growth rate of a function using limits?
2. What is the significance of comparing the growth rates of algorithms?
3. How do you simplify complex growth functions like $2^{\log n}$?
4. How do logarithmic and exponential functions compare in terms of growth rate?
5. What are some examples of real-world problems where this type of analysis is critical?
6. How does the base of a logarithm affect its growth rate?

Tip: When analyzing sequences of functions for growth rate, it's useful to remember the hierarchy: logarithmic functions grow slower than polynomial functions, which grow slower than exponential functions.
