Question 1147076
<br>
No miscalculation.  If you use the table to find log(594) = 0.7738, then 10^4.7738 will be approximately 59400, which is what you found.<br>
If you want a more accurate answer, you need to interpolate between the values given in the table.<br>
Over very short intervals, the graph of a logarithm is nearly linear, so you can use linear interpolation.<br>
log(594) = .7738
log(595) = .7745<br>
The difference is .0007.  Then a good approximation is<br>
log(59436) = .7738 + .36(.0007) = .77405<br>
Then using a calculator we find<br>
10^4.77405 = 59436<br>
to the nearest whole number -- which is what we want.
