Do NOT send a Microsoft Word document. Problem: Use the power property of logarithnms to compare the numbers 600 larly, of the two numbers 100 and in, which is smaller? and 60100, Which is larger? Siab T00 which is smaller? 09

Explanation / Answer

Further, log b =log( 601600) = 600log 601 = 600*2.778874472= 1667.324683. Now, since log a > log b, hence a > b, i.e. 600601 > 601600.

2.Let a = 1/99100 = 99-100 and b = 1/10099 = 100-99. Then log a = log(99-100) = -100log 99 = -100*1.995635195 = -199.5635195. Further, log b = log(100-99) = -99 log100 = -99*2 = -198. Now, since log a < log b, hence a < b, i.e. 1/99100 < 1/10099.
