simplify-log_{10}(1.2*10^{-5})

simplify

- lo g_{10} (1.2 \cdot 1 0^{- 5})

- lo g_{10} (1.2) + 5

Decimal Notation

4.92081 \dots

Solution steps

- lo g_{10} (1.2 \cdot 1 0^{- 5})

Apply log rule:

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

lo g_{10} (1.2 \cdot 1 0^{- 5}) = lo g_{10} (1.2) + lo g_{10} (1 0^{- 5})

= - (lo g_{10} (1.2) + lo g_{10} (1 0^{- 5}))

Apply log rule:

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

lo g_{10} (1 0^{- 5}) = - 5 lo g_{10} (10)

= - (lo g_{10} (1.2) - 5 lo g_{10} (10))

5 lo g_{10} (10) = 5

= - (lo g_{10} (1.2) - 5)

Distribute parentheses

= - (lo g_{10} (1.2)) - (- 5)

Apply minus-plus rules

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

= - lo g_{10} (1.2) + 5

- lo g_{10} (1.34 \times 1 0^{- 3})

lo g_{3} (\frac{9}{mn})

lo g_{3} (5 x^{3})

3 lo g_{b} (z) + lo g_{b} (y) - 4 lo g_{b} (z)

ln (4 e^{5 x})
