Question: Express the function $\frac{n^3}{1000} - 100n^2 - 100n + 3$ in terms of the Θ notation and prove that your expression in fact fits into the Θ definition.
So far I have,
$n^3 / 1000 - 100n^2 - 100n + 3 = Θ(n^3)$
$f(n) = n^3 / 1000 - 100n^2 - 100n + 3$
$g(n) = n^3$
$C_1 * n^3 \le n^3 / 1000 - 100n^2 - 100n + 3 \le C_2 * n^3$
For the right side,
$C_2 * n^3 \ge n^3 / 1000 - 100n^2 - 100n + 3$
$C_2 * n^3 \ge n^3 / 1000 + 3$
$C_2 \ge 1/1000 + 3$
$C_2 = 4$
For the left side,
$C_1 * n^3 \le n^3 / 1000 - 100n^2 - 100n + 3$
$C_1 * n^3 \le n^3 / 1000 - 100n^2 - 100n$
$C_1 \le 1/1000 - 100/n - 100/n^2$
And this is where I'm stuck. Any hints or helps would be greatly appreciated.
You are allowed to require that $n$ be large as this is an asymptotic analysis. So let $n \gt 10^6$, for example. Now you have a positive bound on $C_1$
