Solution

Let's work through the questions in the image you uploaded.

31–35: Express in Decimal and Exponential Notation

Here are the decimal and exponential representations:

  1. 110=0.1=1.0×101\frac{1}{10} = 0.1 = 1.0 \times 10^{-1}
  2. 1100=0.01=1.0×102\frac{1}{100} = 0.01 = 1.0 \times 10^{-2}
  3. 11000=0.001=1.0×103\frac{1}{1000} = 0.001 = 1.0 \times 10^{-3}
  4. 11,000,000=0.000001=1.0×106\frac{1}{1,000,000} = 0.000001 = 1.0 \times 10^{-6}
  5. 110,000=0.0001=1.0×104\frac{1}{10,000} = 0.0001 = 1.0 \times 10^{-4}

36–40: Logarithms of Numbers

Here are the logarithmic values:

  1. 100=102100 = 10^2, so log10100=2\log_{10} 100 = 2
  2. 10=10110 = 10^1, so log1010=1\log_{10} 10 = 1
  3. 1=1001 = 10^0, so log101=0\log_{10} 1 = 0
  4. 0.1=1010.1 = 10^{-1}, so log100.1=1\log_{10} 0.1 = -1
  5. 0.01=1020.01 = 10^{-2}, so log100.01=2\log_{10} 0.01 = -2

Would you like a detailed explanation of any of these? Let me know if you have any further questions.

Here are 5 related questions for further practice:

  1. What is 11,000,000,000\frac{1}{1,000,000,000} in decimal and exponential form?
  2. What is the logarithm of 10001000?
  3. How do you express 1100,000\frac{1}{100,000} in both decimal and exponential notation?
  4. What is the value of log100.001\log_{10} 0.001?
  5. What does log1010,000\log_{10} 10,000 equal?

Tip: For logarithms, remember that log10\log_{10} (log base 10) of a number tells you the exponent to which 10 must be raised to get that number.
