The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to evaluate the expression \(\frac{1}{\log_2 \pi} + \frac{1}{\log_6 \pi}\) and determine if it is greater than 2. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Use Change of Base Formula**: We can rewrite the logarithms using the change of base formula: \[ \log_a b = \frac{\log_c b}{\log_c a} \] So we have: \[ \log_2 \pi = \frac{\log \pi}{\log 2} \quad \text{and} \quad \log_6 \pi = \frac{\log \pi}{\log 6} \] 2. **Substitute into the Expression**: Substitute these into the original expression: \[ \frac{1}{\log_2 \pi} = \frac{\log 2}{\log \pi} \quad \text{and} \quad \frac{1}{\log_6 \pi} = \frac{\log 6}{\log \pi} \] Therefore, we can rewrite the expression as: \[ \frac{\log 2}{\log \pi} + \frac{\log 6}{\log \pi} = \frac{\log 2 + \log 6}{\log \pi} \] 3. **Combine the Logs**: Using the property of logarithms that states \(\log a + \log b = \log(ab)\), we combine the logs: \[ \log 2 + \log 6 = \log(2 \times 6) = \log 12 \] Thus, the expression simplifies to: \[ \frac{\log 12}{\log \pi} \] 4. **Inequality Setup**: We need to check if: \[ \frac{\log 12}{\log \pi} > 2 \] This can be rearranged to: \[ \log 12 > 2 \log \pi \] Using the property of logarithms, we can rewrite \(2 \log \pi\) as: \[ 2 \log \pi = \log(\pi^2) \] Therefore, we need to check if: \[ \log 12 > \log(\pi^2) \] This implies: \[ 12 > \pi^2 \] 5. **Evaluate the Inequality**: Now, we need to evaluate whether \(12\) is greater than \(\pi^2\). We know that: \[ \pi \approx 3.14 \implies \pi^2 \approx 9.86 \] Hence: \[ 12 > 9.86 \quad \text{(True)} \] 6. **Conclusion**: Since \(12 > \pi^2\) is true, we conclude that: \[ \frac{1}{\log_2 \pi} + \frac{1}{\log_6 \pi} > 2 \] Therefore, the statement is **True**. ### Final Answer: (a) True
