Resumen
1/x function, logarithm (ln), inequality, secant line, slope Napier's inequality: If 0 < a< b, then 1/b < (ln b – ln a) < 1/a.
Observe that in the graphic, (ln b – ln a)/(b-a), the slope of the secant line passing through (a, ln a) and (b, ln b), is between the slopes of the tangent lines at x = b and x = a Componente Curricular::Educação Superior::Ciências Exatas e da Terra::Matemática
