One question almost done

[Soracyn11]

Hi I got to here but got stuck.

 

[Steven G]

In each line, is that *log5 or -log5

 

[Soracyn11]

*log5

 

[Steven G]

You can combine lg2+lg5 into one log. Which base are you using?

 

[Soracyn11]

Oh the notation lg is log base 10.

 

[Steven G]

Now simplify lg2 + lg 5

 

[Soracyn11]

Oh I think I found the solution with your response lg2+lg5 =lg10 which equals 1

 

[Dr.Peterson]

It appears that you are writing [MATH]^3 5[/MATH] to mean what I would write as [MATH]5^3[/MATH], where 5 is the base and 3 is the exponent. Is that standard notation for you? I'm not familiar with it.
