What is log(10000)- log(1/100) +log(1/10)

Solution

Let's solve the expression log(10000)log(1100)+log(110)\log(10000) - \log\left(\frac{1}{100}\right) + \log\left(\frac{1}{10}\right).

Step 1: Simplify each logarithmic term.

  1. Evaluate log(10000)\log(10000): log(10000)=log(104)=4log(10)=4\log(10000) = \log(10^4) = 4 \cdot \log(10) = 4 (Since log(10)=1\log(10) = 1)

  2. Evaluate log(1100)\log\left(\frac{1}{100}\right): log(1100)=log(102)=2log(10)=2\log\left(\frac{1}{100}\right) = \log\left(10^{-2}\right) = -2 \cdot \log(10) = -2

  3. Evaluate log(110)\log\left(\frac{1}{10}\right): log(110)=log(101)=1log(10)=1\log\left(\frac{1}{10}\right) = \log\left(10^{-1}\right) = -1 \cdot \log(10) = -1

Step 2: Substitute the values into the original expression.

log(10000)log(1100)+log(110)=4(2)+(1)\log(10000) - \log\left(\frac{1}{100}\right) + \log\left(\frac{1}{10}\right) = 4 - (-2) + (-1)

Step 3: Simplify the expression.

4+21=54 + 2 - 1 = 5

So, the value of the expression is 5.

Tip: Remember, the logarithm of a quotient can be expressed as the difference of the logarithms: log(ab)=log(a)log(b)\log\left(\frac{a}{b}\right) = \log(a) - \log(b).
