simplify log_{10}(0.04)

Solution

simplify

lo g_{10} (0.04)

Solution

- 2 lo g_{10} (5)

+1

Solution steps

lo g_{10} (0.04)

0.04 = \frac{4}{100}

= lo g_{10} (\frac{4}{100})

Cancel the numbers:

\frac{4}{100} = \frac{1}{25}

= lo g_{10} (\frac{1}{25})

\frac{1}{25} = 2 5^{- 1}

= lo g_{10} (2 5^{- 1})

Apply log rule:

lo g_{a} (x^{b}) = b \cdot lo g_{a} (x), x > 0

lo g_{10} (2 5^{- 1}) = - 1 \cdot lo g_{10} (25)

= - 1 \cdot lo g_{10} (25)

Apply rule:

1 \cdot a = a

= - lo g_{10} (25)

Factor the number:

25 = 5^{2}

= - lo g_{10} (5^{2})

Apply log rule:

lo g_{a} (x^{b}) = b \cdot lo g_{a} (x), x > 0

- lo g_{10} (5^{2}) = - 2 lo g_{10} (5)

= - 2 lo g_{10} (5)
