simplify log_{10}(1/a)

Solution

simplify

lo g_{10} (\frac{1}{a})

Solution

- lo g_{10} (a)

Solution steps

lo g_{10} (\frac{1}{a})

Simplify

\frac{1}{a} : a^{- 1}

= lo g_{10} (a^{- 1})

Apply log rule

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

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

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

Apply rule:

1 \cdot a = a

= - lo g_{10} (a)
