Question
Part 1. (a) Assume the run time for some algorithm is given by the following recurrence: $ \begin{equation} T(n) = 2T(\sqrt[]{n}) + \log n \end{equation} $ Find the asymptotic run time complexity of this algorithm. Give detail of your computation.
(b) Assume functions $ f $ and $ f $ such that $ f(n) $ is $ O(g(n)) $. Prove or disprove that $ 3^{f(n)} $ is $ O(3^{g(n)}) $.
