Your midterm is essentially divided into three (3) sections. Each section tests your knowledge of the material in a different and increasingly difficult way. The first section is basic knowledge and explanation. You will see questions like, "what is a… ," or "explain when or why a programmer would…." The second section involves interpreting/analyzing code or writing short coding statements. For these questions, you will be given excerpts of code and asked questions such as, "what would be output," or "write the code to add the given object to the given array list." The final section of your test will involve free response code writing. You will be asked to do things like, "complete method removeElement of the LinkedList class given the following requirements." Below is a complete list of topics and guidelines for your midterm. What is the dominate term and how to pick them out of a function?

Answer:

A complexity analysis: The dominate term is x^2, see explanation on how to pick them out of a function.

Explanation:

Complexity Analysis : The dominate term and how to pick them out of a function.

The mathematical term greater in absolute value than any other or than the sum of the others.

A dominant term such as x -> a is a term which grows more rapidly than

any other in the expression. In your example there are two terms:

f(x) = x^2 + 1/x^2.

As x -> infinity, the dominant term is x^2, because the ratio of x^2

to 1/x^2 (which equals x^4) goes to infinity. The function behaves

like x^2 for large values of x, because the other terms are

negligible compared to the dominant one.
