Question:

The ranking of growth rates given in the text applies for x→∞. However, these rates may not be evident for small values of x. For example, an exponential grows faster than any power of x. However, for 1 < x < 19,800, x2 is greater than ex/1000. For the following pairs of functions, estimate the point at which the faster-growing function overtakes the slower-growing function (for the last time).

a. ln3 x and x0.3 

b. 2x/100 and x3

c. xx/100 and ex 

d. ln10 x and ex/10
