In general, if $p in mathbb{R}[X]$ is a fixed polynomial, $I$ a (nondegenerate) interval and $f in mathrm{C}^{infty}(I, mathbb{R})$ is infinitely derivable such that $f(I)$ does not contain any roots of $p$, can you see how the derivatives of $mathrm{ln}|tilde{p}circ f|$ would behave (by $widetilde{p}$ I mean the polynomial function attached to $p$)? Especially those of an order that exceeds the degree of $p$?

Just to make sure, when you write $f^4(x)$ do you mean $[f(x)]^4$ or $frac{d^4f}{dx^4}$?

Firstly, I would write it as
$$1+f(x)+[f(x)]^4 = e^{x^{50}}$$
Next, express the RHS as a Taylor series centered at $0$:
$$e^{x^{50}} = 1+x^{50}+frac 12 x^{100}+frac 16 x^{150}+frac{1}{24}x^{200}+cdots$$
The Taylor series of $f$ centered at $0$ is
$$f(x) = frac{f(0)}{0!}x^0+frac {f'(0)}{1!}x^1 + frac {f''(0)}{2!}x^2+frac{f'''(0)}{3!}x^3+cdots = sum_{n=0}^inftyfrac{f^{(n)}(0)}{n!}x^n$$
We are given that $f(0)=0$, so
$$f(x) = frac {f'(0)}{1!}x^1 + frac {f''(0)}{2!}x^2+frac{f'''(0)}{3!}x^3+cdots$$
We take the $4$-th power on both sides to obtain the Taylor series for $f^4$. So
$$[f(x)]^4 = [f'(0)]^4x^4 + 2[f'(0)]^3f''(0)x^5+cdots$$
Now put it altogether and compare the coefficients of the powers of $x$:
begin{align}
1+f(x)+[f(x)]^4 & = e^{x^{50}} \
implies 1+bigg(frac {f'(0)}{1!}x^1 + frac {f''(0)}{2!}x^2+frac{f'''(0)}{3!}x^3+cdotsbigg) + big([f'(0)]^4x^4+cdotsbig)& = big(1+ cdotsbig)
end{align}
Comparing terms at order $x^1$, $x^2$ and $x^3$, we see that $f'(0)=f''(0)=f'''(0)=0$. Thus, we now know that the Taylor series of $f$ is of the form
$$f(x) = frac {f^{(4)}(0)}{4!}x^4 + frac {f^{(5)}(0)}{5!}x^5+frac{f^{(6)}(0)}{6!}x^6+cdots$$
where $f^{(n)}(0)$ denotes the $n$-th derivative of $f$ evaluated at $x=0$.
We can now take $4$-th powers again:
$$[f(x)]^4 = bigg(frac{f^{(4)}(0)}{4!}bigg)^4x^{16} +cdots$$
and, upon substituting into the equation $$1+f(x)+[f(x)]^4 = e^{x^{50}}$$ we find that $$f^{(4)}(0)=cdots=f^{(15)}(0)=0$$
Repeat again and we find further that $$f^{(16)}(0)=cdots=f^{(49)}(0)=0=f^{(51)}(0)=cdots=f^{(63)}(0)$$
whereas $frac{f^{50}(0)}{50!}=1$ due to the $x^{50}$ term from $exp(x^{50})$. So now we have
$$f(x) = x^{50} + frac {f^{(64)}(0)}{64!}x^{64}+frac{f^{(65)}(0)}{65!}x^{65}+cdots$$
and
$$[f(x)]^4 = x^{200}+cdots$$
Finally, substitute into the equation and compare the coefficients of the $x^{200}$ term:
begin{align}
frac{f^{(200)}(0)}{200!} + 1 & = frac{1}{24} \
implies f^{(200)}(0) & = -200! cdot frac{23}{24}
end{align}

The Taylor series of $f$ centered at $0$ is
$$f(x) = frac{f(0)}{0!}x^0+frac {f'(0)}{1!}x^1 + frac {f''(0)}{2!}x^2+frac{f'''(0)}{3!}x^3+cdots = sum_{n=0}^inftyfrac{f^{(n)}(0)}{n!}x^n$$
We are given that $f(0)=0$, so
$$f(x) = frac {f'(0)}{1!}x^1 + frac {f''(0)}{2!}x^2+frac{f'''(0)}{3!}x^3+cdots$$
We take the $4$-th power on both sides to obtain the Taylor series for $f^4$. So
$$[f(x)]^4 = [f'(0)]^4x^4 + 2[f'(0)]^3f''(0)x^5+cdots$$
Now put it altogether and compare the coefficients of the powers of $x$:
begin{align}
1+f(x)+[f(x)]^4 & = e^{x^{50}} \
implies 1+bigg(frac {f'(0)}{1!}x^1 + frac {f''(0)}{2!}x^2+frac{f'''(0)}{3!}x^3+cdotsbigg) + big([f'(0)]^4x^4+cdotsbig)& = big(1+ cdotsbig)
end{align}
Comparing terms at order $x^1$, $x^2$ and $x^3$, we see that $f'(0)=f''(0)=f'''(0)=0$. Thus, we now know that the Taylor series of $f$ is of the form
$$f(x) = frac {f^{(4)}(0)}{4!}x^4 + frac {f^{(5)}(0)}{5!}x^5+frac{f^{(6)}(0)}{6!}x^6+cdots$$
where $f^{(n)}(0)$ denotes the $n$-th derivative of $f$ evaluated at $x=0$.
We can now take $4$-th powers again:
$$[f(x)]^4 = bigg(frac{f^{(4)}(0)}{4!}bigg)^4x^{16} +cdots$$
and, upon substituting into the equation $$1+f(x)+[f(x)]^4 = e^{x^{50}}$$ we find that $$f^{(4)}(0)=cdots=f^{(15)}(0)=0$$
Repeat again and we find further that $$f^{(16)}(0)=cdots=f^{(49)}(0)=0=f^{(51)}(0)=cdots=f^{(63)}(0)$$
whereas $frac{f^{50}(0)}{50!}=1$ due to the $x^{50}$ term from $exp(x^{50})$. So now we have

and

In general, if $p in mathbb{R}[X]$ is a fixed polynomial, $I$ a (nondegenerate) interval and $f in mathrm{C}^{infty}(I, mathbb{R})$ is infinitely derivable such that $f(I)$ does not contain any roots of $p$, can you see how the derivatives of $mathrm{ln}|tilde{p}circ f|$ would behave (by $widetilde{p}$ I mean the polynomial function attached to $p$)? Especially those of an order that exceeds the degree of $p$?
