log(10 x 3cuberoot of 10)
how to simplify that without using a calculator? I need the fastest numerical steps.

is it ...\[\log(10*\sqrt[3]{10})\]
OpenStudy (gorv):
????
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yeahp ;p
OpenStudy (anonymous):
sorry but didn't know how to write that down xD

its okay...both term are inmultiplication so use property of log
OpenStudy (gorv):
\[\log(a*b)=\log a + \log b\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
okay you can split them up into ____ + _____
OpenStudy (gorv):
a=10 \[b=\sqrt[3]{10}\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
and since 3√10 is basically 10^1/3 right?

log 10=1
\[\sqrt[3]{10}=10^{1/3}\]
OpenStudy (gorv):
\[\log x^y=y *logx \]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
wait so you can split the log outside to.. log10 because a "log" is log ten right?
OpenStudy (gorv):
use this property
OpenStudy (anonymous):
o.o

bring the power in gront and log 10 =1 again
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes ^^
and when you have the same right hand side, you can add the two logs tgt
log10 + (1/3)log10 = ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
OOOH log10 = 1 right?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yeap
OpenStudy (anonymous):
log10 = 1(10)^1/3

uh.. well, you can't do it like that because you still have a power
you need it to be like, (a)log10 which will give you (a)(1)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
well I can't use a blasted calculator with this, what is 10^1/3? xD
OpenStudy (anonymous):
really? I can't do that??
OpenStudy (anonymous):
as i mentioned, shift the 1/3 in front
OpenStudy (anonymous):
log10^a = alog10
