Chapter 4, Problem 29R

Explanation of Solution

Big-O notation:

A function g(n) is O(f(n)) if there exists a constant c > 0 such that “cf(n) grows faster than g(n) for all n>=n0 , that is, g(n) is O(f(n)) iff for some constants “c” and “n0”, g(n)<=cf(n) for all n>=n0. Here, f(n) denotes upper bound for g(n). The important points for above statements are as follows:

  • “n” is the data set size.
  • f(n) denotes a function that is calculated while taking n as the parameter.
  • O(f(n)) means that curve denoted by f(n) is an upper bound for a function’s need for resources.

To prove:

It is given that the (n+1)5=O(n5).

Proof:

Consider that the given condition is true. The given function can be written as (n+1)5=c
