I have this problem.




Given $f(n) = sqrtn$ and $g(n) = 5^log_2n$, which one is faster?



  1. $f(n) = mathcal O(g(n))$

  2. $g(n) = mathcal O(f(n))$

  3. Both



I solved a couple of exercises, but the problem with this one is that I don't have any idea how to compare these two!

The trick is noticing that $5^log_2 x=5^fracln xln 2=e^fracln 5ln 2ln x=x^fracln 5ln 2$. And now it's all a matter of deciding which one is the largest between $log_25$ and $frac12$.
