simplify-log_{10}(2\times 10^{-5})

simplify

- lo g_{10} (2 \cdot 1 0^{- 5})

- lo g_{10} (2) + 5

Decimal Notation

4.69897 \dots

Solution steps

- lo g_{10} (2 \cdot 1 0^{- 5})

Apply log rule:

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

lo g_{10} (2 \cdot 1 0^{- 5}) = lo g_{10} (2) + lo g_{10} (1 0^{- 5})

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

5 lo g_{10} (10) = 5

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

Distribute parentheses

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

Apply minus-plus rules

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

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

2 lo g_{6} (5 a) + lo g_{6} (b) + 7 lo g_{6} (c)

ln (- 1) + ln (- 3)

ln (8) + ln (4)

lo g_{\frac{1}{2}} (8 x)

lo g_{10} (\frac{x ^{2}}{3})
