Which one of the following is the smallest?

Show answer and solution
log⁡10π2\sqrt{\log_{10}\pi^{2}} let log⁡10 π=t\log_{10}{\ \pi = t}
= 0.5

2log⁡10n=2t=1\sqrt{2\log_{10}^{n}} = \sqrt{2t} = 1
1t3=23=8\frac{1}{t^{3}} = 2^{3} = 8
1log⁡10(x)12 =2log⁡10 x=2t=4\frac{1}{\log_{10}(x)\frac{1}{2}\ } = \frac{2}{\log_{10}\ x} = \frac{2}{t} = 4
⇒log⁡10x≅0⋅5\Rightarrow \log_{10}x \cong 0 \cdot 5 is the smallest.
