Let $a = 30!$, $b = 50!$, and $c = 100!$. Consider the following numbers: $log_a c$, $log_c a$, $log_b a$, $log_a b$ Which one of the following inequalities is CORRECT?
To solve this problem, we need to evaluate the given logarithmic expressions and determine which of the provided inequalities is correct. Let's analyze each expression:
We are given:
Let's compute each logarithm using the property \(\log_x y = \frac{\log y}{\log x}\):
Now, let's write out the approximate comparative sizes based on the factorial properties:
This order matches the first option provided:
\(\log_c a < \log_b a < \log_a b < \log_a c\)
Therefore, the correct inequality is:
\(\log_c a < \log_b a < \log_a b < \log_a c\)
For positive non-zero real variables $p$ and $q$, if
$\log (p^2 + q^2) = \log p + \log q + 2 \log 3$,
then, the value of $\frac{p^4+q^4}{p^2q^2}$ is
For a real number $x > 1$,
$\frac{1}{\log_2 x} + \frac{1}{\log_3 x} + \frac{1}{\log_4 x} = 1$
The value of $x$ is
A petrified wood fossil was discovered with 8 g of $^{14}C$. The decay of $^{14}C$ over time is given by:
$N_T = N_0 e^{-0.0001216T}$
If the half-life of $^{14}C$ is 5700 years, and the fossil initially had 32 g of $^{14}C$, the age of the fossil in years is ______.
