Given the precise definition of Big O notation, for a c of 9 and a T(n) = 6n2 - 19n + 3, what is the value n0 such that T(n) <= c * O( n2 ) for all n > n0?
Question
Given the precise definition of Big O notation, for a c of 9 and a T(n) = 6n2 - 19n + 3, what is the value n0 such that T(n) <= c * O( n2 ) for all n > n0?
Solution
To solve this problem, we need to find a value of n0 such that 6n^2 - 19n + 3 <= 9n^2 for all n > n0. This is equivalent to finding a value of n0 such that 3n^2 - 19n + 3 <= 0 for all n > n0.
We can solve this quadratic inequality by first finding the roots of the equation 3n^2 - 19n + 3 = 0. This can be done using the quadratic formula:
n = [19 ± sqrt((19)^2 - 433)] / (2*3) n = [19 ± sqrt(361 - 36)] / 6 n = [19 ± sqrt(325)] / 6 n = [19 ± 18.027756377319946] / 6 n1 = 6.171292559663483, n2 = 0.1613742403365167
The inequality 3n^2 - 19n + 3 <= 0 will be satisfied for values of n between n1 and n2. Therefore, we need to find a value of n0 that is greater than n1. Since n1 is approximately 6.17, we can choose n0 = 7.
So, T(n) <= c * O( n^2 ) for all n > n0, where n0 = 7.
