Question 923788: (Big O notation)
How do you determine if a function is O(?


I have several of these to figure out, but by way of example, can you please show me how to solve this one step-by-step?
f (x) = x2 + 1000

f(x) is O(x^2). Note that f(x) is upper-bounded by, say, 2x^2 for large enough x, and the 1000 term eventually does not matter.
