first x>0  let  f(x)=x−ln(x) ⇒  f^′ (x)=1−(1/x) =((x−1)/x) and f^′ (x)≥0 ⇔x≥1  lim_(x→0^+ )    f(x)=+∞  and lim_(x→+∞) f(x)=  lim_(x→+∞)  x(1−((lnx)/x))=lim_(+∞) x=+∞  variation of f(x)  x         0               1               +∞  f^′ (x)            −             +  f(x)    +∞ dec  1     inc    +∞  we see that f(x)≥0  ∀ x>0 ⇒ln(x)≤x  ∀x>0

x<e^x   ⇒ln x<x  (not ln x≤x)

x<exlnx<x(notlnxx)
