Let f (f(n) and g(n)) be asymptotically nonnegative functions. Using the basic definition of Θ notation, prove that max(f(n), g(n)) = Θ(f(n) + g(n)),
Let f (n) and g(n) be positive functions (for any n they give positive values) and f (n) = O(g(n)).Prove or disprove the following statement:
Show that if f (n) and g(n) are monotonically increasing functions, then so are the functions f (n) / C g(n) and f g(n) and if f (n) and g(n) are in addition non-negative, then f (n)/g(n) is monotonically increasing.

- Note: For all integers k,n it is true that kn, k+n, and k-n are integers. An integer k is even if and only if there exists an integer r such that k=2r. An integer k is odd if and only if there exists an integer r such that k=2r+1. For every integer k it is true that if k is even then k is not odd. For every integer k it is true that if k is odd then k is not even. For every integer k it is true that if k is not even then k is odd.
