Question

Rank the followingfunctions by increasing order of growth (i.e.,
the slowest-growing first, the fastest-growing last):

(log n)2, n, n!, n, nlogn, 2n, n3, logn, n(1.2), n2, loglogn, n2 + log n, log n

where all the logarithms are to the base 2. If two functions haveequal orders of growth
then list them grouped together, e.g., betweenbrackets. Rank the followingfunctions by increasing order of growth (i.e.,
the slowest-growing first, the fastest-growing last):

(log n)2, n, n!, n, nlogn, 2n, n3, logn, n(1.2), n2, loglogn, n2 + log n, log n

where all the logarithms are to the base 2. If two functions haveequal orders of growth
then list them grouped together, e.g., betweenbrackets.

Explanation / Answer

Functions in increasing order are: loglogn logn
logn
(logn)2 n n nlogn n 1.2 n 2 = n 2 +logn n 3 2n n! n 2 = n 2 +logn n 3 2n n!
