\n" ); document.write( "------------
\n" ); document.write( "The log is the exponent. It's the number to which 10 is raised to get 5.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"10%5Elog%285%29+=+5\"$
\n" ); document.write( "----------
\n" ); document.write( " $\"10%5Elog%28x%29+=+x\"$
\n" ); document.write( "=======================
\n" ); document.write( "another approach:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"n+=+10%5Elog%285%29\"$ solve for n
\n" ); document.write( "Take the log of both sides
\n" ); document.write( " $\"log%28n%29+=+%28log%285%29%29%2Alog%2810%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "log(10) = 1
\n" ); document.write( "--> log(n) = log(5)
\n" ); document.write( "--> n = 5
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
