Suppose there are three different algorithms for solving the same problem and each algorithm takes a number of steps that is of the order of the functions n*log base2 of n, n^(3/2), and n(log base 2 of n)^2. Which of the algorithms is the most efficient in the long run? Graph the functions to get a better sense of how rapidly each grows
