log10(5) + 2log10(4)

@iambatman

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is that base 10?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

And what would you like to do with this question :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

would it become log10(5) + log10(16) So, log(16*5) log(80)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Correct!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I had to simplify

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you know the exact rules used to make that happen?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes i know

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Alright, well good job then!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I have some confusion sometimes It is just written Log2 or log4 here what is the base and the power

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The base here doesn't matter

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ohh

OpenStudy (shiraz14):

@╰☆╮Openstudier╰☆╮ : log to the base 10 is often simply written as lg, and log to the base e (or natural logarithm) is often written as ln. For all other logs, the base is specified (e.g. log2, log4, etc). So @iambatman is correct in stating that the base here doesn't matter.

okay tysm
