log 10's base is 10
and 10 raised to the power of 1 gives answer 10

mrnood · Answer

the definition of the log function is:
if
$$y= \log _{n}(x)$$

then
$$n ^{y}=x$$

so $$10^{1}=10$$
Therefore$$\log _{10}(10)=1$$

It seems to me that explaining how log 10 = 1 is MUCH easier than explaining how log 2 = .3010

WOW - you'd think if you posted a question, you'd wait for an answer.

Yeah - it bugs me too.
Many posters ask a question, then go offline, presumably expecting the full answer to be there waiting when they next log in.
