  2^(√2) <3<2^(√3)   log_2 2^(√2) <log_2 3<log_2 2^(√3)   (√2)<log_2 3<(√3)

22<3<23 log222<log23<log223 2<log23<3

9>8  3^2 >2^3   2 log_2  3>3  log_2  3>(3/2)  (log_2  3)^2 >((3/2))^2 =(9/4)>(8/4)=2  ⇒log_2  3>(√2)    27<32  3^3 <2^5   3log_2  3<5  log_2  3<(5/3)  (log_2  3)^2 <((5/3))^2 =((25)/9)<((27)/9)=3  ⇒log_2  3<(√3)

9>8 32>23 2log23>3 log23>32 (log23)2>(32)2=94>84=2 log23>2 27<32 33<25 3log23<5 log23<53 (log23)2<(53)2=259<279=3 log23<3
