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?

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.

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 жыл бұрын

@blackpenredpen 3 жыл бұрын

Wow! Really 😎

@MarcoMate87 3 жыл бұрын

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.

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.

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.

cbrt(x) = log(x), take z^3 = x so that z = 3log(z), rearrange to get (1/z)log(1/z) = -1/3 which means log(1/z) = W(-1/3). Solve for z and cube both sides to get x = z^3 = exp(-3W(-1/3)). The "trick" is to realize that xlogx = W^-1(logx).

@josephlupton8196 3 жыл бұрын

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.

@angelmendez-rivera351 3 жыл бұрын

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.

Just like you did a vid about x^y vs y^x could you do x tetration y vs y tetration x

Is it also possible to use Newton-Raphson method to approximate points of intersection?

@factsheet4930 3 жыл бұрын

if instead you tried the e-th root, they will only intersect at one point, at (e, e^e)!

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

Dont know if my method is correct or no. First Take two functions y=x^3 and y=e^x Since the second functions is exponential and will take over x^3 at some point so e^x is bigger than x^3 So the inverse of e^x is smaller than inverse of x^3

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

How is that a solution to the equation ? How do you compute the numerical solution from that answer ?

@aryamankejriwal5959 3 жыл бұрын

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

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)?

How to approximate sinx with prod(x - npi)(x + npi)?

@RudolfKlusal 3 жыл бұрын

Does it mean, if I didn't use 3rt or 2nd root of x, but some parameter, e.g. "s," so if aftel l'hopital I find such "s" that that ratio would be 1, I found an "s-th" root of x which is the smallest one from which those two functions always cross out each other? :-)

With a background in complexity theory, the question becomes simpler, because then you know that ln x grows slower than any polynomial (that is, O(p(x)) > O(ln x)).

I don't think there is an analytical solution to it.

I've just learned some time complexity in programming and I know that polynomial will always eventually grow bigger than logarithmic lol (yeah, even ln(x) and x^1/4392084 applies)
