First, in order to transform the main expression into a more manipulable one, we can rationalize it:
2 i 2 0 1 5 + 2 i 1 9 9 5 ⋅ 2 i 2 0 1 5 − 2 i 1 9 9 5 2 i 2 0 1 5 − 2 i 1 9 9 5 = 2 i 2 0 1 5 − 2 i 1 9 9 5 ( 2 i 2 0 1 5 ) 2 − ( 2 i 1 9 9 5 ) 2 = 2 i 2 0 1 5 − 2 i 1 9 9 5 2 i − 1 2 0 1 5 − 2 i − 1 1 9 9 5
Easily we can observe that the new expression will let us to simplify factors while developing the Product. Thus:
i = 1 ∏ 2 2 0 1 5 ( 2 i 2 0 1 5 + 2 i 1 9 9 5 ) = 2 0 1 5 − 1 9 9 5 2 0 1 5 − 1 9 9 5 ⋅ 4 2 0 1 5 − 4 1 9 9 5 2 0 1 5 − 1 9 9 5 ⋅ 8 2 0 1 5 − 8 1 9 9 5 4 2 0 1 5 − 4 1 9 9 5 ⋅ ⋯ ⋅ 2 2 2 0 1 5 2 0 1 5 − 2 2 2 0 1 5 1 9 9 5 2 2 2 0 1 5 − 1 2 0 1 5 − 2 2 2 0 1 5 − 1 1 9 9 5
The numerator of any factor simplifies with the denominator of the preceeding one. Then, the result is:
i = 1 ∏ 2 2 0 1 5 ( 2 i 2 0 1 5 + 2 i 1 9 9 5 ) = 2 2 2 0 1 5 2 0 1 5 − 2 2 2 0 1 5 1 9 9 5 2 0 1 5 − 1 9 9 5 = ( 2 0 1 5 ) 2 2 2 0 1 5 1 − ( 1 9 9 5 ) 2 2 2 0 1 5 1 2 0
So, the reciprocal would be 2 0 ( 2 0 1 5 ) 2 2 2 0 1 5 1 − ( 1 9 9 5 ) 2 2 2 0 1 5 1 and the requested values:
a = 2 0 1 5 b = 2 2 0 1 5 c = 1 9 9 5 d = 2 0
Finally, substituing:
lo g 2 ( b d ) c lo g 2 ( b ) + 5 a = 2 0 lo g 2 ( 2 2 0 1 5 ) 1 9 9 5 ⋅ lo g 2 ( 2 2 0 1 5 ) + 5 ⋅ 2 0 1 5 = 2 0 ⋅ 2 0 1 5 1 9 9 5 ⋅ 2 0 1 5 + 5 ⋅ 2 0 1 5 = 2 0 2 0 0 0 = 1 0 0
