Wells Forgo Complexity Theory Problems with Solutions Quiz-1

Question 1

Time: 00:00:00

If x1(n) is O(y1(n)) and x2(n) is O(y2(n)), then which of the following options is true in context of asymptotic complexity notations?

x1(n) + x2(n) is O(min(y1(n), y2(n)))

x1(n) + x2(n) is O(max(y1(n), y2(n)))

x1(n) + x2(n) is O(y1(n)*y2(n))

x1(n) + x2(n) is O(y1(n)-y2(n))
