Its a exercise that ask to indicate the class Big-Theta(g(n)) the functions belongs to and to prove the assertion.

In this case f(n) = (n^2+1)^10

By definition f(n) E Big-Theta(g(n)) <=> c1*g(n) < f(n) < c2*g(n), where c1 and c2 are two constants.

I know that for this specific f(n) the Big-Theta is g(n^20) but I don't know who to prove it properly. I guess I need to manipulate this inequality but I don't know how
