Statement flagged by 0 users
Reason: Monotonicity of powers in the exponent for bases at least one, and the bound |p(t)| <= C t^N for t >= 1 for every polynomial function.

Statement

Let R\mathbb{R} be the real numbers, an ordered field with order \le, and write t|t| for the absolute value of tRt\in\mathbb{R}. Let N\mathbb{N} be the set of natural numbers, with the order also written \le, and let powers be the natural number powers of R\mathbb{R}.

Then the following hold.

1. (Monotonicity in the exponent) Let m,nNm,n\in\mathbb{N} with mnm\le n and let tRt\in\mathbb{R} with 1t1\le t. Then tmtnt^{m}\le t^{n}.

2. (Polynomial growth) Let pp be a polynomial function on R\mathbb{R}. Then there are NNN\in\mathbb{N} and CRC\in\mathbb{R} with 0C0\le C such that

p(t)CtNfor every tR with 1t.|p(t)|\le C\,t^{N}\qquad\text{for every }t\in\mathbb{R}\text{ with }1\le t.
