Quadratically

Also, so that distance between and decreases quadratically.

For example, since the run-time of insertion sort grows quadratically as its input size increases, insertion sort can be said to be of order O(n 2 ).

However, since the number of connections grows quadratically with the number of nodes: This makes it impractical for large networks.

Just as the area of a circle is quadratically related to its diameter or radius, so is the area of the piece of a spherical surface cut out by a circular cone related to the angle across the patch.

This property results in the cipher's security degrading quadratically, and needs to be taken into account when selecting a block size.

While the energy delivered to the target increases linearly with mass, it increases quadratically with the speed (see the effect of the handle, below).
