Master mothed.

T(n) = a *T(n/b) + f(n)

here a = 3, b = 3
a *T(n/b) contributes the same as f(n) dose.

Therefore nlog(n)

Sean.B.Wan is absolutely right:

T(N) = 3T(n/3) + O(N)
a = 3
b = 3
f(N) = N

Applying master method (2-nd case): T(N) = N*lgN

This question did seem suspicious to me. There seem to be an increasing number of people that think that they should go ahead and post their homework questions here.
