In this video, we will compare radical function and logarithmic function: which one is eventually larger? We can take the limit as x goes to the infinity of their ratio. With L'Hospital's Rule, we can see that the cube root of x should be eventually larger. So can we find the other point of intersection?

@txikitofandango 3 года назад

My thinking is, e^x is always bigger than any polynomial when x is sufficiently large, because the Taylor series of e^x is of a higher degree than any polynomial and its coefficients are all positive. Therefore, the inverse of e^x (i.e., ln(x)) will always be less than the inverse of a polynomial (such as a square or cube root of x) when x is sufficiently large.

@gogo-pj2lm 3 года назад

Another easy way to do it: For n in N, we want to compare x^(1/n) and ln x when x tends to positive infinity. Taking ln for both, then it is to compare 1/n * ln x and ln ln x. If we fix n, then the magnitude of 1/n is irrelevant. We may as well just say we are comparing O(ln x) and O(ln ln x). Since x > ln x for x > 0 (which can be verified by computing the minimum of f(x) = x - ln x), we have ln x > ln ln x by the fact that ln is increasing. Thus, x^(1/n) >> ln x for each n in N.

@papetoast 3 года назад

Nice

@blackpenredpen 3 года назад

Wow! Really 😎

@MarcoMate87 3 года назад

To be honest, the magnitude of 1/n is not so irrelevant. In general, proving that f(x) > g(x) for all x in a certain domain D doesn't really imply that, m*f(x) > g(x), neither in the same domain D nor in a domain C smaller than D (where m is a positive real number). For example 2x > x for all x > 0, but for m = 1/4 we have m*2x = x/2 < x for all x > 0. Therefore proving that ln x > ln (ln x) for all x > 1 is not sufficient to prove that 1/n * ln x > ln (ln x) for all x > 1 and for each n in N. The last inequality is indeed false, in the sense that for n = 3 we have just seen in the video that the function cbrt (x) is eventually bigger than ln (x), but not for all x > 1.

I think of them as inverses of e^x and x^3. If you take the natural log of each, you’re left with x and 3lnx. Taking the derivative of each, you get 1 and 3/x. The derivative of the second continuously decreases, so it will eventually lose its lead.

@aniruddhvasishta8334 3 года назад

I think this is because the graph of the inverse of a function is the graph of the function but reflected along the line y=x. Therefore since exponential functions get bigger than polynomial functions normally, the reflection makes the root functions get bigger eventually and the log functions relatively smaller.

@antman7673 3 года назад

Exponential always beats polynomial in growth. So the inverse function of the exponential, which essentially transforms back the exponential to x, must be smaller to cancel out the bigger exponential function for large x.

Exponential growth is well known to be always bigger than any power (polynomial) growth eventually - e.g. a^x >> x^n (for any constants a and n, x -> infinity). So, the reverse is also true. ln(x)

@angelmendez-rivera351 3 года назад

This can be generalized to any root. The nth root of x, in its rigorous form, is defined to be equal to exp[ln(x)/n]. So exp[ln(x)/n] = ln(x). This is equivalent to -1/n = [-ln(x)/n]·exp[-ln(x)/n]. This implies ln(x) = -n·W(-1, -1/n) or ln(x) = -n·W(0, -1/n). If you choose x such that ln(x) > -n·W(-1, -1/n), then it will be apparent that exp[ln(x)/n] > ln(x), hence proving the root grows faster. Another form to prove it is by realizing that ln(x) = exp(ln[ln(x)]), so comparing the nth root to the logarithm is equivalent to comparing ln(x)/n to ln[ln(x)], and with this, it does become somewhat more apparent that the formed grows faster.

this problem was easy. The derivative of ln x is 1/x and the derivative of cuberoot(x) is (1/3)(1/x^(2/3)). 1/x gets smaller faster as x approaches infinity, therefore the slope of lnx gets less steep more quickly, and thus cuberoot(x) is the winner. In fact, any root of x will win because the derivative will always have a power of x less than 1 in the denominator.

Even though easy, this is pretty nice example of how simply graphing something can lead you to false conclusion. Just remembering that logarithm is the inverse of exponential and root is always polynomial no matter the size of the exponent, we will know that logarithm is always going to eventually be smaller, no matter the exponent of the root. It looks weird, if you take that to extreme and numbers will of course get huge. Similar thing happens with comparisons like ax^b vs c^dx where the exponential always wins (I think, maybe proof one way or another could be an idea for video ...) given that all the constants are positive and c>1.

@bollyfan1330 3 года назад

ln(x) is the inverse of e^x, while nth root of x is the inverse of x^n. We know that e^x (exponential function) will eventually always be greater than x^n (polynomial function). Hence the inverse ln(x) will eventually always be smaller than x^(1/n).

Wait am I missing something? if you plug in e^(1/e) to to x^(1/e) you get e^(1/e^2) and plug it in ln(x) you get 1/e.. so the value of both functions aren't equal at x=e^1/e then how is that the intersection point. Sorry if I am dumb but this seemed sus

@@anonymousfry y value will be e and the x value will be e^e, sorry

Why do you use a fish as the argument of the Lambert fn? Is this a common notation or a BPRP invention?

@dlevi67 3 года назад

It's his invention. The point is that it doesn't matter what you put in, but the argument of the product and the log has to be exactly the same.

TI-89: solve(x^(1/3) - ln(x) = 0, x) produces both answers and also warns that there might be other solutions as well.

Could this be generalised as Lim as x->infinity of (nth root of x) is always bigger than Lim as x->infinity of (log n of x)?

Quick question: other than brute forcing this by looking at the graphs out to an arbitrarily large x-value, is there any way to tell that these two functions only have the 2 intersections?

@JonCookeBridge 3 года назад

Differentiate y = cuberoot(x); also differentiate y =ln x. Observe that after that second intersection cuberoot(x) will always have a larger gradient than ln x, so there can be no more turning points.

@davidhjedwy Год назад

do it with e root(x) and ln(x)

I looked at e^x being greater than x^n as x-> infinity and since e^x is always greater, the inverse will always be less

@andreamusso1469 3 года назад

If I remember correctly, there's no real number to express the order of infinity of ln (x). You'd have to have x^n with n being bigger than 0, but smaller than all numbers smaller than 0 (but no such number exists in R). Is that correct, or am I mistaken?

@dlevi67 3 года назад

In a sense. But now consider ln(ln(x))... and you see why people came up with non-standard analysis.
