5. Ranking functions in order of growth. Sort all the functions below in increasing asymptotic (big-O) growth order. If some have the same asymptotic growth, then be sure to indicate that. As usual, lg means base 2. (10 points) a. n^1/2 lg^4 (n) b. n^lg n c. 5^n d. 5^5n e. 4^4^n f. n^4 g. 5n h. n^n/4 i. 4 lg lg n j. 4^n^4

Step 1

The functions given are of various forms, including polynomial, exponential, logarithmic, and combinations thereof. It's important to know that, generally, logarithmic growth is slower than linear, which is slower than polynomial, which in turn is slower than Show more…
