simplify-log_{10}(2.5*10^{-5})

simplify

- lo g_{10} (2.5 \cdot 1 0^{- 5})

- lo g_{10} (2.5) + 5

Decimal Notation

4.60205 \dots

Solution steps

- lo g_{10} (2.5 \cdot 1 0^{- 5})

Apply log rule:

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

lo g_{10} (2.5 \cdot 1 0^{- 5}) = lo g_{10} (2.5) + lo g_{10} (1 0^{- 5})

= - (lo g_{10} (2.5) + 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) - 5 lo g_{10} (10))

5 lo g_{10} (10) = 5

= - (lo g_{10} (2.5) - 5)

Distribute parentheses

= - (lo g_{10} (2.5)) - (- 5)

Apply minus-plus rules

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

= - lo g_{10} (2.5) + 5

6 ln (5) - 4 ln (3)

3 lo g_{5} (x + y) - 2 lo g_{5} (x - y)

4 ln (\frac{1}{2})

ln (2 y) - ln (y)

2 ln (4) + 3 ln (x) - 4 ln (y)
