Question and options

The set of real values of xx for which the inequality log⁡278≤log⁡3x<91log⁡23\log _{27} 8 \leq \log _{3} x \lt 9^{\frac{1}{\log _{2} 3}} holds is
  1. [2,81)[2,81)
  2. (2,27)(2,27)
  3. [2,81][2,81]
  4. (2,27](2,27]

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: A - \([2,81)\)
log27 8 = log3 2, so x>=2. 9^(1/log2 3)=9^(log3 2)=3^(2log3 2)=4, so log3 x<4 gives x<81. Set [2,81).
