    "Hence" makes it easier x^2+1 \geq 2x \\ 1 \geq \frac{2x}{x^2+1} \\\int_0^x 1 dy \geq \int_0^x \frac{2y}{y^2+1} dy\\x \geq ln(x^2+1)\\e^x \geq x^2+1 Note that the integration step only works for x>=0

    Quantitative Risk = Maths and finance double degree + honours but with less maths and less finance than the combined degree.

    +1. This highlights the flaw in assuming if f(x)>g(x) for all x, then the primitives of both functions share the sample property (ie.F(x)>G(x) for all x) due to differing constants of integration.

    Is BSc of Arts majoring in Economics just as employable as a BSc Commerce/Economics?
