9
log 10 49
(Round to four decimal places as needed.)
without using a calculator.

Answer 1

Explanation:

rules of the logarithm :

e.g.

log(a×b) = log(a) + log(b)

log10(9) = log10(3×3) = log10(3) + log10(3) =

= 0.4771 + 0.4771 = 0.9542

log10(49) = log10(7×7) = log10(7) + log10(7) =

= 0.8451 + 0.8451 = 1.6902
