I ordered these functions by their asymptotic growth rates from smallest to largest.
$$\sqrt{2}^2, \log_{10}n, n^{1/2}, \log_2n^2, \log_2n^n,n^2, 2^n, (\log_2n)^n.$$
I am trying to figure out how to tell if any of them are in the same rate category? I read that if $\lim_{j\rightarrow\infty}\frac{f(n)}{g(n)}$ is a constant or infinity that they are the same order
The correct order would be (putting in the same line functions of the same order):
$$\sqrt 2^2$$
$$\log_{10}(n), \log_2(n^2)$$
$$\sqrt n$$
$$\log_2(n^n)$$
$$n^2$$
$$2^n$$
$$(\log_2(n))^n.$$
