Question 274564: I have been asked to take some figures from a 'yield table' of trees. Specifically the trees per ha/ and the diameters. I have then been asked to take the log base 10 of these figures, prior to plotting them on a graph. So in the first line (of many) I have 2309 trees with a diameter of 11 - what should I be doing with these figures. Am I to just move the decimal place?
Thanks

The log(base 10) of a number is the power of 10 required to express
the number.
For example log(base 10) of 10 = 1 because 10^1 = 10
log(base 10) of 100 = 2 because 10^2 = 100
--------------------------------------
Your Problem requires a calculator (which you can find online).
log(base 10) 2309 = 3.3634..
log(base 10) 11 = 1.0414..
