Question

log 100.1=?

Answer 1

\[\log_{10}(100.1)\]?

Answer 2

is what @UnkleRhaukus asked

Answer 3

yea

Answer 4

actually the base is not given. if this case happens which base we have to take. or do without taking base?

Answer 5

i have done, log 1001/10
=> log1001-log10
=> log1001 - 1

Answer 6

seems good,

Answer 7

i would of used base 10 in this case like you did
that's why log10=1

Answer 8

oke *_* thanx
but how to break log 1001

Answer 9

log1001 = 3(approx.)

Answer 10

you want to write in simplest forms?
i was thing of 11x91 but that is not of any good i guess

Answer 11

so my ans wud be 3-1=2

Answer 12

no not really

Answer 13

yep! approx. 2

Answer 14

:) cool

Answer 15

log1001-1=log11+log91-1
======================
i don't you are looking for an approximation do u?
unless the questionm asked that

Answer 16

no no not approx

Answer 17

just keep things compound when the question does not mention estimate or approx

Answer 18

i will prefer if exact ans do comes

Answer 19

then don't go by that approx the fellow suggested

Answer 20

i ment compact not compound! lol

Answer 21

ok sir

Answer 22

you're right @xapproachesinfinity . it depend on what question says.

Answer 23

unless you can break down log1001 to a more compact form
then just leave as it is

Answer 24

fine .but it is going very lengthy .

Answer 25

if we solve by 11*91

Answer 26

does not matter! is just depend what the question requires you to do

Answer 27

i said earlier that does not help
i just mentioned that i was thing that way but not of any hope it would be good
