Subject: Re: Graph-Ti; y = x^(1/log x) Concerning earlier posts by Fred Worth and Russel Blyth on this subject: I can't explain the anamoly, but I can certainly add to the confusion. One would think that in doing the calculation for the graph, the TI-85 actually calculates y = exp(ln x/ log x) However, graphing this function (using the same range settings) gives y = 10 for all calculated values. Further, the graph for y = x^(1/ln x) gives no surprises : y = e, for all calculated values. As a side issue, calculating the subject function for x = .6595744681 , which is 1/10 of a troublesome value, gives 10.
