21. Let f(n) = n² + 20 and g(n) = n³. (a) Show that f(n) is O(g(n)) by finding a positive integer A for which f(n) < A g(n) for all n ≥ 1. (b) Show that f(n) is O(g(n)) by finding a positive integer N for which f(n) < g(n) for all n > N. (c) Use proof by contradiction to show that g(n) is not O(f(n)).
