Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

To determine whether each of these functions is
O(x^2), we apply these theorems:

  1. A polynomial is always O(the term containing the highest power of n)
  2. Any O(x) function is always
    O(x^2).

(a)Given the function: f(x)=100x+1000

The highest power of n is 1.

Therefore f(x) is O(x).

Since any O(x) function is always
O(x^2), 100x+1000 is
O(x^2).


(b) f(x)=100x^ 2 + 1000

The highest power of n is 2.

Therefore the function is
O(x^2).
