Prove/Disprove:
$(1) \log((\sum _{k=1}^n(k^2))^3)= \mathcal{O}(n^2)$
$(2) \ 2^{n^3}=\mathcal{O}(3^{n^2})$
$(3) \ \forall f(n):f(n)=\mathcal{O}(\log n) \Rightarrow 2^{f(n)}=\mathcal{O}(n)$
$(4) \ \forall f(n):2^{f(n)}=\mathcal{O}(n) \Rightarrow f(n)=\mathcal{O}(\log n)$
My try:
$(1)$ is true.
$(2)$ is not true, but not sure how to prove it.
$(3)$ is not true.
$(4)$ is true.
Any help with $(2)$ appreciated.
Note that $$2^{n^3}=2^{n^2\cdot n}=2^{2n^2}\cdot2^{n^2(n-2)}=4^{n^2}\cdot2^{n^2(n-2)}.$$ Can you finish?
