Question 1073219: Which is a possible solution to the equation shown below?
y=log 10 (x+2)
the 10 is small
a=(8,1)
b=(-2,0)
c=(1,12)
d=(2,18)
I have changed it to y=log10x^2 then I graphed it on my ti 84 plus calculator. it said error

Powers of 10 are not complicated, using whole numbers especially.

Look at the result, y, in trying each x of the listed choices.



You KNOW y=1.
Choice a works, being the point (8,1).

You have three more choices to look at. Do any of them also work?

ADDITIONAL NOTE: You do not need any kind of hand-held calculator to do this problem.
