(ans. 3 . sinx=logx⇒x≤10.10<2⋅2π means that in [0,2π] there is a complete period of sin and part of a second period. There is an intersection in the first period, and after the first period, near 25π to the left and to the right, sin has value <1 (and >0, of course). Since 2π+2π=25π<10, sinx intersect logx at two points to the left and right side of 25π.)
