      Exponential functions are larger then powers of a number when n is nearer infinity

        Try looking at the logarithms of these values and comparing them. You should easily see the answer.

          :confused: He's not comparing exponential functions.

            My guess is

            n pow 2

            your task is to proof it (by induction?) :)

                    Is n interger? real number? complex number? What interval are we talking about? Positive or negative infinity? I'd give it back to teacher and say that (s)he formulated the problem too vaguely :P

                      (just for the sake of argumentation, I'm pretty certain there are some mathematical proof of each ...) Does it really make a difference when n is near infinity ? the results will be infinity anyway.

                        I think the question is about the asymptotic properties of the various quantities. In a practical sense the exercise is useful for comparing orders of algorithms. Aside from that, if n is infinity then you can't compare them, no. "Close to infinity" just means "very large but not infinity".

                          I assume you mean the derivatives? Once upon a time I learned about something that I recall as l'Hôpital's rule[^]. On the other hand, I have no clue what the hell the derivation of n log n is. :~ Do you think Ilidiot knows? :-D
