So sánh 202 303 và 303 202
$\begingroup$ Find without use of calculator which of the two numbers is greater $202^{303}$ or $303^{202}$. I think we have to do this with calculus because I got this question from my calculus book. I tried searching on google and SE but didn't get required solution Michael Lugo 22.1k3 gold badges45 silver badges89 bronze badges asked May 15, 2016 at 21:35 $\endgroup$ 6 $\begingroup$ $$\array{808 &\gt& 9 \\ 101 \cdot 2^{3} &\gt& 3^{2} \\ 101^{3} \cdot 2^{3} &\gt& 101^{2} \cdot 3^{2} \\ \left((101\cdot 2){3}\right){101} &\gt& \left((101\cdot 3){2}\right){101} \\ 202^{303} &\gt& 303^{202}}$$ miracle173 11k3 gold badges31 silver badges59 bronze badges answered May 15, 2016 at 22:03 $\endgroup$ 0 $\begingroup$ We have $a^b0\quad\mathrm{iff}\quad x answered May 15, 2016 at 21:43 Fabio LucchiniFabio Lucchini 16k1 gold badge28 silver badges41 bronze badges $\endgroup$ 0 $\begingroup$ We are comparing $202^{303}$ and $303^{202}$. $202^{303}$ is equal to $202^{202}$ * $202^{101}$. $303^{202}$ is equal to $(202 * 1.5){202}$ which is equal to $202{202}$ * $1.5^{202}$ Now, we can divide out the $202^{202}$ from both sides which yields $202^{101}$ versus $1.5^{202}$. $1.5^{202}$ can be written as $2.25^{101}$ (squaring the inside, thus dividing the exponent by 2). Since $202^{101}$ > $2.25^{101}$, $202^{303}$ > $303^{202}$.

Therefore $202^{303} > 2^{2121}, 303^{202} < 2^{1818}$. Even easier: $202^{303} > 100^{303} = 1000^{202} > 303^{202}$.
