N
≥
0 such
that
f
(
N
)
≤
g
(
N
) but
f
(
N
+ 1)
> g
(
N
+ 1). Show the values of

2. (10 pts) For each function
f
(
n
) (the row index in the following table) and time
t
(the column
index in the following table),
determine the largest size
n
of a problem that can be solved in
time
t
, assuming that the algorithm takes
f
(
n
)
microseconds
to solve an instance of a problem
of size
n
. Fill the value
n
in the corresponding entry.
