This is the tight-bound, asymptotic worst case run time of the median of medians algorithm, which picks the median of a list of n elements. The quantum bogo-sort algorithm has this worst case runtime, since each list in each universe is verified in parallel. This is the worst case runtime for inserting an element into a list implemented as dynamically resizable arrays, though it is often said to be "big O of 1" amortized constant time. The "merge" operation of the (*) merge sort algorithm has this asymptotic runtime. Inserting an arbitrary element in a singly linked list with no tail pointer has this worst case runtime, and it also the worst case runtime of a naive search, instead of the faster binary search. The "big O" function of the function of f of x equals fifteen n is, for 10 points, what function, which depends on a variable that is not raised to any power?
