Logs of logs Compare the growth rates of ln x, ln (ln

Solution Step 1 In this problem we have to compare the growth rate of the functions ln x, ln (ln x) and ln (ln (ln x)) Let f(x) = ln x, g(x) = ln (ln x)), h(x) = ln (ln (ln x)). In order to compare the growth rate we will be using the following condition. “If there are two functions f(x)and g(x)both tending to infinity as x . Then the function f grows faster than gas x if the following condition holds f(x) g(x) lim = or lim = 0 ” x g(x) x f(x) l'Hôpital's Rule: f(x) f(x) Suppose that we have one of the following cases, lim g(x)= 0r lim g(x)= ± xa xa Where a can be any real number, infinity or negative infinity. f(x) f(x) In these cases we have lim g(x)= lim gx) xa xa
