Question 80370: I would like a solution to how it is done to evaluate each expression:
log of 2 (0.5). I do know the answer is -1 (from the back of my text book's answers to the problem), but the log calculator on this web site had the answer as 0 because it was needed 0 divisions to get to 1. Please explain .
Thank you,
Charles

You're not reading it right. You've got to know exactly what
the expression means before you can solve it.
Read it like this:
"The log to the base 2 which gives me 1/2 is what?"
Or what means the same thing:
"What power do I raise 2 to in order to get 1/2?"
Remember:
