Question 1 Report

Given that \(\frac{1}{2} \log_{10} P = 1\), find the value of P.

Answer Details
The equation \(\frac{1}{2} \log_{10} P = 1\) can be simplified by multiplying both sides by 2: \(\log_{10} P = 2\). We know that \(\log_{10} P = x\) is equivalent to \(10^x = P\). So, in this case, \(10^2 = P\), which means that P is equal to 100. Therefore, the correct answer is 102.
