Question 223979: logx=0.51 it asks me to find x=?
10^x=0.038 find x=? ***it shows x (a wavey equals sign) what is this sign?
***It says rewrite to use calculator??? It says to round answer to 3 nearest three decimal places.
I am not sure what they are asking of me...I do understand about the decimal places and the powers of 10. Could someone please help me?

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
log x = 0.51
Can be written
10^.51 = x
Using a calc enter 10^.51, we have x = 2.236
:
select 10^x on your calc and enter .038, will equal 1.091
Check it: enter log(1.091) will equal .038
