Let
T
=
{
9
k
:
k
is an integer
,
0
≤
k
≤
4000
}
T = \{9^k : k \ \text{is an integer}, 0 \le k \le 4000\}
T
=
{
9
k
:
k
is an integer
,
0
≤
k
≤
4000
}
. Given that
9
4000
9^{4000}
9
4000
has 3817 digits and that its first (leftmost) digit is 9, how many elements of
T
T
T
have 9 as their leftmost digit?
