By l'Hopital's Rule,
lim_{x to infty}{x^{ln 2}}/{1+lnx}=infty.

Intuitively, Imagine that this is a fight between the numerator and the denominator, and x^{ln2} grows faster than 1+lnx as x approaches infty, which means that the numerator will be larger than the denominator; therefore, the quotient tends to infinity.

Let us use l'Hopital's Rule to find the limit.
lim_{x to infty}{x^{ln2}}/{1+lnx} =lim_{x to infty}{(ln2)x^{ln2-1}}/{1/x} = (ln2)lim_{x to infty}{x^{ln2}x^(-1)}/{x^-1}

=(ln2) lim_{x to infty}x^{ln2}=infty
