2.
Prove the following:
(i)
For any two positive real numbers the function grows slower that as .
(ii)

For any two natural numbers with the function grows slower than as .

(iii)
For any two real number the function grows faster than as .
(iv)
For any real number and the function grows faster than as .
(v)
For any real numbers and the function grows faster than as .
   
3.
Using exercise(1) arrange the following functions in the descending rate of growth, that is, from the fastest
 

growing to the slowest growing, as :

 
   
4.
Let be functions such that grow faster than as . Prove that the functions

grow at the same rate as .

   
5.
Let is fixed let
 


Show that, as grows slower than but grows faster than .
