Question 1 Report
Given that \(\log_{10} 2 = 0.3010\) and \(\log_{10} 3 = 0.4771\), calculate without using mathematical tables or calculator, the value of :
(a) \(\log_{10} 54\) ;
(b) \(\log_{10} 0.24\).
Given \(\log_{10}2=0.3010,\ \log_{10}3=0.4771\).
(a) \(54=2\times 27=2\times 3^{3}\).
\(\log_{10}54=\log_{10}2+3\log_{10}3=0.3010+3(0.4771)=0.3010+1.4313=\mathbf{1.7323}\).
(b) \(0.24=\dfrac{24}{100}=\dfrac{2^{3}\times 3}{100}\).
\(\log_{10}24=3\log_{10}2+\log_{10}3=0.9030+0.4771=1.3801\).
\(\log_{10}0.24=\log_{10}24-\log_{10}100=1.3801-2=\mathbf{-0.6199}\) (i.e. \(\bar{1}.3801\)).
