PLEASE ANSWER QUICKLY
Suppose you've written a function called mystery, which takes in a list of integers. You know that when you run the function with a list of 1000 elements, it always takes roughly 2 minutes to complete.

If you know that the function has a linear asymptotic runtime in all cases (that is, O(n)),
approximately how long will it take to finish if you pass in a list of 4000 elements? Explain your
answer in one or two sentences.
