    This problem (find log 1000) is the same as finding the value of the question mark in the equation log 1000 = ?. If you re-write this problem with exponents, it becomes 10^? = 1000. From looking at that equation, you should be able to tell that ?

  • Logarithm

    Solution: Using the law of addition of logarithms, we have: log (base 7) 8 + log (base 7) 9 = log (base 7) (8*9) log (base 7) 8 + log (base 7) 9 = log (base 7) 72 Using the law of subtraction of logarithms, we have: log (base 2) 3 - log (base
