Problem
For how many positive integers 
is 
?
Solution
The domain of the LHS implies that ![\[40<x<60\]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/e/6/1/e61ac4e06141f931a998331029b57ad65f67c533.png)
Begin from the left hand side
![\[\log_{10}[(x-40)(60-x)]<2\]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/6/7/4/6749fe9dcc8059ce47ccd96766d2b0d9d1f0eb3a.png)
![\[(x-40)(60-x)<100\]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/d/c/8/dc8b0d61948c16d06b5abed7664d06898e0969c2.png)
![\[-x^2+100x-2500<0\]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/8/c/b/8cb07d38ab8be9ccbb57dd02425ab79f4a9da74d.png)
![\[(x-50)^2>0\]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/d/c/7/dc75fe198e27a34d5b4d4876eed002ce2eb24c26.png)
![\[x \not = 50\]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/3/9/c/39c9aefab22bafbe506412f1eeed25a27f7cf9d5.png)
Hence, we have integers from 41 to 49 and 51 to 59. There are 
integers.
