Algorithm analysis question in growth of functions How would I solve the following.

An algorithm that is $O(n^2)$ takes 10 seconds to execute on a particular computer when n=100, how long would you expect to take it when n=500?

Can anyone help me answer dis.
Formally, there is absolutely no way to tell.  O( ) notation is about the limiting behavior of a function (in this case, the running time of an algorithm) as its argument (in this case, the input size) grows to infinity.  Without more information, it is absolutely impossible, even in principle, to predict behavior in the limit from a finite number of function values.
