Question 251599: Solve. Where appropriate, include approximations to the nearest thousandth. If no solution exists, state this.
log x =1
If an equation reads as log 10 or 10 whatever, this means log to the base 10.
In other words, log (base10) of 10 = some number.
This particular problem reads as log base 10 of x=1. Convert to exponential form. In other words, the base to the power 1 = x.
Thus, x=1.
