We say that if an algorithm takes p time for an input size of n (here, p is a polynomial in n, and the degree of p is y), then the algorithm's complexity is O(n^y).
In the image, when n is very large it does not seem to matter much if it's x^2 or 2x^2. but, it clearly seems to matter if it's x or 2x. So, then why do we approximate, something like 3000x to x?
thank you
