we have this one shit at school in math, the question or thing is: "show that there exist a number x > 3 so that ln(x) < x ^ 0.1"

I'm guessing you didnt read much of what i said, such as that above bit, or the bit saying that some of my exams force you to use that method, also giving trial and error tables.
however, gl with the problem, maybe things are taught differently where you are.

ps: yes i know whats numeric
"its not a mathematical way just to guess"
that's what you wrote and it is obviously wrong (an iteration starts with a good guess). i merely pointed that out.
And like i sad already here, find me not just a number but the whole real Intervall. Dont think u wanna test every real number for this, but u should with this "guess" methodic

"some guys cant see the difference between guess and prove"
and some guys can't see the difference between show and prove, as seen below.
but yes, nvm.
been to long that i've had that ln, log stuff...can't hell ya :(
maybe try a "scheme" ( babelfished it the dutch word "stelsel" ) , should work
ln(x) is de natuurlijke logaritme, hetzelfde als elog(x)
in de natuur komt er een bepaald getal ( ik gok 1.61 en nog iets ) veel voor waardoor ze er ne speciale logaritme voor hebben gemaakt namelijk die ln :P
ps :this will be edited since i am still working on it and i am not sure of what i have just said
"inverse operation of radicalization"--> dunno if its this what i want to say in english
to show something always means not to guess and not to use numbers as solution u should do it a way without taking this number which exist;
just try it another way without taking and guessing this number
ok, the answer is not simple, to prove it u have to define a function and show which properties it have and then u will see that this number should exist
and i could have solved this last year, but i cba to go true my books and notes of last year just to find this answer for some question on crossfire :P
(ask ur teacher)
LOL
for example in the point x=3.04 is ln(x)=1.11185blabla and 3.04^0.1=1.11760blabla
edit: my teacher would give 0/6 from this task if i did it your way and would put questionmark on the your so called "solution"
u will get 0 point for ur calculator or fucking graphshit way solution
and u dont fucking need this number like i sad before u just have to prove that there is an intervall (not a fucking number AT NOW) where this works what u have to PROVE
but nvm, ur a teacher so i'll guess ur right
dont try to find a number, try to find an intervall, show me that this works for a very big Intervall, how do u wanna show this? to test all real numbers for which u will need more as ur whole life? try another way. (dont task only a point, task an intervall like i sad)
didn't notice my typo :XD

ITS A BIG DIFFERENCE!"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ask ur teacher what does it mean to prove something
bb im off
go uli!
