Problem 46RE
Comparing growth rates? Determine which of the two functions grows faster, or state that they have comparable growth rates. 10xand ln x 2
Step-by-Step Solution:
Solution Step 1 2 In this problem we have to determine which of the two functions 10xand ln x , grows faster than the other otherwise we have to state the comparable growth rates. Suppose f and g are functions such that lim f(x) = , lim g(x) = x x Enough to prove: lim g(x)= 0which means f grows faster than g as x x f(x) l'Hôpital's Rule: f(x) 0 f(x) ± Suppose that we have one of the following cases, lim xa g(x)= 0 or xa g(x)= ± Where a can be any real number, infinity or negative infinity. f(x) f(x) In these cases we have lim g(x)= lim g(x) xa xa
