Expert Solution
Introduction :-

NOTE  :-  Below i explain the answer in my own words by which you understand it well.

 

  • O(f(n2)) and (n2) are frequently misunderstood. The former indicates that the running time is quadratic at most, while the latter indicates that it is quadratic. "The running time of algorithm A is at least (n2)" was probably what you meant to say. This indicates that A runs slower or in quadratic time.

 

  • To put it another way, the arithmetic expression "The value of x is at least less than 10" is analogous to the statement in the question.
