There are 25 prime numbers less than 100. The Prime Number Theorem states that the number of primes less than \(x\) approaches \(p(x) \approx \frac{x}{\ln x}\). Use this approximation to estimate the rate (in primes per 100 integers) at which the prime numbers occur when (a) x = 1000 (b) x = 1,000,000 (c) x = 1,000,000,000 Text Transcription: x p(x) approx x / ln x

For large values of \(\boldsymbol{n}\), \(n !=1 \cdot 2 \cdot 3 \cdot 4 \cdot \cdots(n-1) \cdot n\) can be approximated by Stirling's Formula, \(n ! \approx\left(\frac{n}{e}\right)^{n} \sqrt{2 \pi n}\) In Exercises 131 and 132, find the exact value of \(n\) !, and then approximate \(n\) ! using Stirling's Formula. n = 12 Text Transcription: n n! =1 cdot 2 cdot 3 cdot 4 cdot cdots(n - 1) cdot n n! approx (n / e)^{n} sqrt{2 pi n}
