What kind of analysis?

Re: Oh,Oh,Oh,merry analysis!!!

So then you are trying to do Big Oh, or Landau notation as it is sometimes called?

Simplify

f(x)=6x^9+8x^8+11 using Big O notation.

Re: Oh,Oh,Oh,merry analysis!!!

Yes, that is correct.

What is the meaning of the Big O notation here:

Re: Oh,Oh,Oh,merry analysis!!!

hi

well maybe that other terms are of "order" greater or equal to x^4.i saw this ex. on wiki.didn't read it carefully.

EDIT:i just looked at the wiki article.it means that the error of calculating the abs. difference e^x-1-x-x^2/2-x^3/6 is less in value than c*|x^4| for some const. c>0

Re: Oh,Oh,Oh,merry analysis!!!

Big-O is like a sort-of estimation of the maximum or minimum or something near the answer.
Big-O square or Big-O log base 10, etc...

Re: Oh,Oh,Oh,merry analysis!!!

hi JEF

i read about that.but i think that the O(log x) does not really need a base specified.

You are copying straight from Wiki and not adapting the ideas it contains to the new problem.
