Statement flagged by 0 users
Reason: Explicit bound t^m exp(-t) <= mu^{S(m)} t^{-1} for t > 0, the quantitative form of the statement that the exponential dominates every power.

Statement

Let R\mathbb{R} be the real numbers, an ordered field with order \le, and let exp\exp be the exponential function. Let N\mathbb{N} be the set of natural numbers, with successor map SS as in that definition, let ιR:NR\iota_{\mathbb{R}}:\mathbb{N}\to\mathbb{R} be the canonical map of R\mathbb{R}, as in clause 3 of The Real Numbers and Standard Notation (written explicitly here, rather than by the abbreviation of that clause, because natural numbers occur below both as exponents and as elements of R\mathbb{R}), and let powers be the natural number powers of R\mathbb{R}. For tRt\in\mathbb{R} with t0t\ne 0 let t1t^{-1} denote the multiplicative inverse of tt.

Let mNm\in\mathbb{N} and put μ=ιR(S(m))\mu=\iota_{\mathbb{R}}(S(m)). Then 0<μ0<\mu, and

tmexp(t)μS(m)t1for every tR with 0<t.t^{m}\exp(-t)\le \mu^{S(m)}\,t^{-1}\qquad\text{for every }t\in\mathbb{R}\text{ with }0<t.
