Using a simple hand calculator with pen and paper, and without direct evaluation, determine which of these quantities is greater.
2142 or 945
*** You can use computer program/excel solver only for purposes of verification.
Taking the above strictures to heart, a set of old log tables from the net gives:
0.3010*142-0.4771*90 = -0.197, so the power of 9 is larger (though of the same order of magnitude).
Mind you, it's over 50 years since I last used a log table...
