Find the number of digits in the given number. $$ 6^{700} \cdot 23^{1000} $$
Suppose \(\log _{8}\left(\log _{7} m\right)=5 .\) How many digits does \(m\) have?
Write a description of the logarithmic scale used for the \(\mathrm{pH}\) scale, which measures acidity (this will probably require use of the library or the web).
Suppose \(x\) is a positive number and \(n\) is a positive integer. Using only the definitions of roots and integer powers, explain why $$ \left(x^{1 / 2}\right)^{n}=\left(x^{1 / 4}\right)^{2 n}. $$
Explain how you would use a calculator to verify that $$ 2^{13746}<13746^{1000} $$ but $$ 2^{13747}>13747^{1000} $$ and then actually use a calculator to verify both these inequalities. [The numbers involved in these inequalities have over four thousand digits. Thus some cleverness in using your calculator is required.]
