simplify-log_{10}(1.5*10^{-4})

simplify

- lo g_{10} (1.5 \cdot 1 0^{- 4})

- lo g_{10} (1.5) + 4

Decimal Notation

3.82390 \dots

Solution steps

- lo g_{10} (1.5 \cdot 1 0^{- 4})

Apply log rule:

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

lo g_{10} (1.5 \cdot 1 0^{- 4}) = lo g_{10} (1.5) + lo g_{10} (1 0^{- 4})

= - (lo g_{10} (1.5) + 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} (1.5) - 4 lo g_{10} (10))

4 lo g_{10} (10) = 4

= - (lo g_{10} (1.5) - 4)

Distribute parentheses

= - (lo g_{10} (1.5)) - (- 4)

Apply minus-plus rules

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

= - lo g_{10} (1.5) + 4

- 0.4 lo g_{2} (0.4) - 0.6 lo g_{2} (0.6)

lo g_{5} (\frac{u}{v ^{5}})

ln (\frac{7}{9})

ln (\frac{1}{x ^{5}})

lo g_{4} (x y^{8} z^{4})
