To interpret the figure, consider what each curve and label represents in asymptotic analysis.
Option 1: Big Oh. The graph shows f(n) lying below a function c*g(n) for sufficiently large n (beyond n0), which matches the definition of f(n) = O(g(n)): there exists a constant c such that f(n) ≤ c*g(n) for n ≥ n0. The presence of c*g(n) as an upper envelope confirms this upper bound relationship.
Option 2: Big Omega. This would require f(n) to be bounded below by a constant multiple of g(n), i.e., f(n) ≥ c*g(n) for n ≥ n0. The image emphasizes an upper bound (cg(n) above f(n)) rather than a lower bound, so this option does not align with what the figure illustrates.
Option 3: Big Theta. Theta would imply that f(n) is tightly bound both above and below by constant multiples of g(n) for large n (f(n) ≈ c1*g(n) and f(n) ≤ c2*g(n)). The diagram only shows a single upper envelope cg(n) and no corresponding lower bound curve approaching f(n) from below with a matching constant, so Theta is not depicted here.
In summary, the key feature shown is an upper bound relation where f(n) is dominated by cg(n) for large n, which corresponds to the Big Oh characterization.
