simplify-log_{10}(1.2*10^{-4})

simplify

- lo g_{10} (1.2 \cdot 1 0^{- 4})

- lo g_{10} (1.2) + 4

Decimal Notation

3.92081 \dots

Solution steps

- lo g_{10} (1.2 \cdot 1 0^{- 4})

Apply log rule:

lo g_{c} (ab) = lo g_{c} (a) + lo g_{c} (b)

lo g_{10} (1.2 \cdot 1 0^{- 4}) = lo g_{10} (1.2) + lo g_{10} (1 0^{- 4})

= - (lo g_{10} (1.2) + lo g_{10} (1 0^{- 4}))

Apply log rule:

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

lo g_{10} (1 0^{- 4}) = - 4 lo g_{10} (10)

= - (lo g_{10} (1.2) - 4 lo g_{10} (10))

4 lo g_{10} (10) = 4

= - (lo g_{10} (1.2) - 4)

Distribute parentheses

= - (lo g_{10} (1.2)) - (- 4)

Apply minus-plus rules

- (- a) = a, - (a) = - a

= - lo g_{10} (1.2) + 4

lo g_{3} (z) + lo g_{3} (z + 2)

ln (\frac{e ^{2}}{3})

lo g_{10} (y^{6} x)

lo g_{a} (\frac{a B}{C ^{4}})

lo g_{3} (a^{3} b^{7} c^{9})
