AI Thread Summary
The equation \ln(x)^{\ln(x)} = x^\ln(\ln(x)) holds true for x > 1, as confirmed by taking the natural logarithm of both sides. For x < 1, the equation does not yield a straight line when plotted, indicating a discrepancy. Graphing tools may not accurately represent the relationship for values less than 1, leading to confusion. The expression is valid and can be graphed correctly when x is greater than 1. Therefore, understanding the domain of x is crucial for analyzing this logarithmic equation.

Is it right that \ln(x)^{\ln(x)} = x^\ln(\ln(x))?
If i take ln from both sides it looks ok. but when i try to plot \frac{\ln(x)^{\ln(x)}}{x^\ln(\ln(x))} or \ln(x)^{\ln(x)} - x^\ln(\ln(x))? it doesn't gives me straight line. What is wrong?

What do you get if you take x < 1? However, if x > 1, then yes, if you take ln from both sides, they are equal. In fact, when I graph it, I get a horizontal line starting from (1,0) and going to the right. I used GCalc to graph it. You can do the same in case it is just a problem with whatever graphing tool you're using.

To give this expression (\ln(x)^{\ln(x)} = x^\ln(\ln(x))) a meaning, x must be >1, then the statement is true.
And you'll have no problems in plotting it, in fact the software you used was not interested in showing you the logic puzzles it was involved in, thus tricking you.
 
I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...
Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'
Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
