Which of the following is the largest number?
2^4000, 3^3000, 4^2500, 5^2000
**no calculator or logarithm tables.
2^4000 = 2^4^1000 = 16^1000
3^3000 = 3^3^1000 = 27^1000
4^2500 = 4^2.5^1000 = 32^1000
5^2000 = 5^2^1000 = 25^1000
So 4^2500 is the biggest, followed by 3^3000, then 5^2000, with 2^4000 being the smallest.
