QuestionExercise 1. Express the following in Big- Ω\Omega, Big-O, or Big-Theta notation as appropriate. (a) n23n(n2)4n2n^{2} \leq 3 n(n-2) \leq 4 n^{2}, for every integer n3n \geq 3. (b) 12n2n(3n2)2\frac{1}{2} n^{2} \leq \frac{n(3 n-2)}{2}, for every integer n3n \geq 3 (c) 0n(3n2)2n20 \leq \frac{n(3 n-2)}{2} \leq n^{2}, for every integer n2n \geq 2.

Studdy Solution
For inequality (c), we have:
0n(3n2)2n2 0 \leq \frac{n(3n-2)}{2} \leq n^{2}
Simplify the middle term:
n(3n2)2=3n22n2 \frac{n(3n-2)}{2} = \frac{3n^2 - 2n}{2}
Compare this with the bounds:
- The upper bound is n2 n^2 , which is O(n2) O(n^2) .
Since 3n22n2 \frac{3n^2 - 2n}{2} is less than or equal to a quadratic function, it is O(n2) O(n^2) .
The expressions in asymptotic notation are: (a) Θ(n2) \Theta(n^2) (b) Ω(n2) \Omega(n^2) (c) O(n2) O(n^2)
