This function can be applied before using L'Hôpital's [loh-pee-tahl'z] rule to evaluate the limit as x approaches infinity of x raised to the power of one over x. Long before the invention of calculators, these were evaluated using the quantity one minus ten raised to the negative seventh power, raised to various powers.

Long before the invention of calculators, these were evaluated using the quantity one minus ten raised to the negative seventh power, raised to various powers. Adding one to x and then applying this function is approximately equal to x minus one-half x squared. For several applications, including finding a fractal dimension, it is helpful to apply this function to the scales of a graph. Applying this to a product is equivalent to finding the sum when this function is applied separately to the factors. Name this function credited to John Napier, which is used in the change-of-base formula and uses the base e for its natural type.
