The least value of the expression
2log10x – logx(0.01), for x > 1, is-
A
10
B
2
C
–0.01
D
None of these
Answer
None of these
Explanation
Solution
logx.01 = –2 logx10
Thus expression = 2 [log10x + logx10]
= 2 [log10x+log10x1]
Put log10x = 1
But x + x1 ³ 2 if x > 0 and x + x1 £ –2 if x < 0 least value of
expression = 4 because
log10x < 0 " x > 1
So correct choice is
