Question 113440
You don't quite have the right idea. Always remember
"logs are exponents" end of story.
So, when you see log(result) =
Whatever is on the other side of the "=" sign is the exponent
The (result) is what you get when you raise the base to that exponent
Let's look at the 1st problem
log(result) = 3.8893
If 3.8893 is the exponent, and the base is 10, I get
{{{10^3.8893 = x}}} since the (result) is {{{x}}}
I get {{{x = 7749.97}}}
------------------
2nd problem
log(result) = - 1.5003
{{{10^-1.5003 = x}}}
{{{x = .0316}}}
