Question 223979: logx=0.51 it asks me to find x=?
10^x=0.038 find x=? ***it shows x (a wavey equals sign) what is this sign?
***It says rewrite to use calculator??? It says to round answer to 3 nearest three decimal places.
I am not sure what they are asking of me...I do understand about the decimal places and the powers of 10. Could someone please help me?

log x = 0.51
Can be written
10^.51 = x
Using a calc enter 10^.51, we have x = 2.236
:
select 10^x on your calc and enter .038, will equal 1.091
Check it: enter log(1.091) will equal .038
