Given an integer array of size $N$, we want to check if the array is sorted (in either ascending or descending order). An algorithm solves this problem by making a single pass through the array and comparing each element of the array only with its adjacent elements. The worst-case time complexity of this algorithm is

Let $$f$$ and $$g$$ be functions of natural numbers given by $$f(n)=n$$ and $$g(n)=n^2$$. Which of the following statements is/are TRUE?

Which one of the following statements is TRUE for all positive functions f(n) ?

Consider the following three functions.

f₁ = 10ⁿ, f₂ = n^logn, f₃ = n^√n

Which one of the following options arranges the functions in the increasing order of asymptotic growth rate?
