The correct Answer is:
To determine the truth of the statements given, we will analyze each statement one by one. ### Statement I: \(2^{600} > 7^{900}\) 1. **Convert the bases to a common logarithmic base**: We can take the logarithm (base 10 or natural logarithm) of both sides to compare the two expressions. \[ \log(2^{600}) > \log(7^{900}) \] 2. **Apply the logarithmic power rule**: Using the property of logarithms that states \(\log(a^b) = b \cdot \log(a)\), we can rewrite the inequality: \[ 600 \cdot \log(2) > 900 \cdot \log(7) \] 3. **Rearranging the inequality**: We can divide both sides by 300 (which is positive, so the inequality remains the same): \[ 2 \cdot \log(2) > 3 \cdot \log(7) \] 4. **Calculating the logarithm values**: Using approximate values: \(\log(2) \approx 0.301\) and \(\log(7) \approx 0.845\): \[ 2 \cdot 0.301 \approx 0.602 \] \[ 3 \cdot 0.845 \approx 2.535 \] 5. **Comparing the results**: Since \(0.602 < 2.535\), we conclude that: \[ 2^{600} < 7^{900} \] Therefore, Statement I is **false**. ### Statement II: \(3^{400} > 9^{500}\) 1. **Rewrite \(9\) in terms of \(3\)**: We know that \(9 = 3^2\), so we can rewrite \(9^{500}\) as: \[ 9^{500} = (3^2)^{500} = 3^{1000} \] 2. **Now compare the two expressions**: We need to check if: \[ 3^{400} > 3^{1000} \] 3. **Since the bases are the same, compare the exponents**: If the bases are the same, we can compare the exponents directly: \[ 400 > 1000 \] This is clearly **false**. Thus, Statement II is also **false**. ### Conclusion: Both statements are false. Therefore, the correct answer is that neither statement is true. ### Final Answer: Both statements I and II are false. ---
