Using Substitution to Prove an Big O/upper bound is O(n^3)
I need to use a substitution method to prove and show that T(n) is in O(n³) for
$T(n) = 2T(\lfloor \frac{n}{2} \rfloor) + 5n^3 $
for n ≥ 2, T(1) = 20
I am supposed to come up with an explicit guess for the upper bound instead of trying to reason using order notation.
thanks!
