Question 985965: One algorithm has a running time of p(n)=n^3+3n+1 and algorithm two has running time of q(n)=15^2+5n+4 (measured in nanoseconds, or 10^-9 seconds).
A. compute the running time for both algorithms for images of size 10 by 10 pixels and 100 by 100 pixels.
I would assume that you would substitute 10^-9 into both equations and from there I am unsure. Answer by solver91311(24713) (Show Source):
No, seconds is the unit of measure applied to the value of each of the functions. You were pretty sparse in the amount of information you provided, but I have to assume that is the number of pixels processed by each of the algorithms. Hence, you should be calculating the number of nanoseconds required to process 10 X 10 (100) pixels for each of the algorithms and then repeat your calculations for 100 X 100 (10,000) pixels for each of the algorithms.
You can do your own arithmetic.
