Question:

Find the indicated values if the given changes are made in the indicated examples of this section.

In Example 2, change 0.03654 to 0.3654 and then find the required value.


Data from Example 2

Finding log 0.03654, as shown in the calculator display in Fig. 13.11, we see that log 0.03654 = −1.4372. We note that the logarithm here is negative. This should be the case when we recall the meaning of a logarithm. Raising 10 to a negative power gives us a number between 0 and 1, and here we have 10−1.4372 = 0.03654.
