Re: Limits!
Hi;
How about using what you know about the growth of functions?

Re: Limits!
Hi bobbym
I thought of asymptotic analysis as well, but I'm not sure how to use out properly.

Re: Limits!
Doesn't x^x^x grow faster than e^x^x when x > e?

Re: Limits!
Hi bobbym
Well it does, but how do I formally show that? Or is that not necessary?

Re: Limits!
We are not looking for a formal idea here just a good solid reason why it might be so.

Re: Limits!
Also, do you really need a formal prove utilizing the sandwich theorem from topology to see that x^x^x grows faster than e^x^x?

Ok thanks.
You think of those problems? Why don't you just find some online?

Why wouldn't I know? Didn't I do limits before?

Re: Limits!
Hi bobbym
Well why don't you give some harder?
Btw, I need help with this:
Given the function f(x)=
Find the real numbers a and b such that
f(x)=lxl*(a+b/x+o(1/x))
As x goes to infinity.

Cause then you would not be able to do them or I would not. What sense does that make?
Take and post that in help me in a new topic. Someone will help you with it.

Re: Limits!
Hi bobbym
You don't have to go overboard with the difficulty level. Choose some not so tough, but tough enough to represent a challenge.

Re: Limits!
No, I meant this is gAr's thread and not mine. Here he poses the problems, not me. Also, I am totally out of ideas.

Hi bobbym
That sound just like a poor excuse. gAr didn't mind you posing problems here so far, I think he wouldn't mind now, but of you don't have ideas them you should just say so!

Re: Limits!
I did. Questions are difficult to pose, even harder than solving them. I have some questions for the other thread. And my point is your knowledge of limits is fine.
I have some problems for the other thread on asymptotics. Anyway, gAr is posting better problems.
