Let's compare the growth rates of the given
functions as :
The function grows exponentially,
which is very fast.
The term grows linearly, which is much
slower compared to .
As , dominates, so
grows exponentially at the same rate as .
This is an exponential function with base
5. It grows exponentially with a larger base than , so it will grow faster
than .
This is an exponential function with base
3, which grows faster than (because 3 > 2).
The constant factor does not affect the
growth rate in the long term.
This can be rewritten as
