Solving Congruences
The complexity of a computer algorithm is the number of operations or steps the algorithm needs to complete its task assuming there are $n$ pieces of input (for example, the number of steps needed to put $n$ numbers in ascending order). Four algorithms for doing the same task have complexities of $\mathrm{A}: n^{3 / 2}, \mathrm{B}: n \log _{2} n, \mathrm{C}: n\left(\log _{2} n\right)^{2},$ and $\mathrm{D}: \sqrt{n} \log _{2} n .$ Rank the algorithms in order of increasing efficiency for large values of $n$ Graph the complexities as they vary with $n$ and comment on your observations.
