Unit 3 Logarithms

Exercise 3.4
Question # 1
Use log tables to find the value of the following:
(i)

0.8176 x 13.64

Solution
0.8176 x 13.64
Let
x = 0.8176 x 13.64
Taking log of both sides
log x =log( 0.8176 x 13.64)
log x = log 0.8176 + log 13.64
log x = .9125 + 1.1348
log x = -1 + 0.9125 + 1 + 0.1348
log x = 0.9125 + 0.1348
log x = 1.0437
x = Antilog (1.0437)
Ch = 1
Mantissa = .0437
X = 11.06
(ii)

(789.5)1/8

Solution

(789.5)1/8
Let
x = (789.5)1/8
Taking log of both sides
log x = log (789.5)1/8
log x = log 789.5
log x = ( 2.8974)
log x = 0.3622
x = Antilog 0.3622
Ch = 0
Mantissa = .3622
x = 2.303

(iii)
Solution

Let
x =
Taking log of both sides
log x = log(

log x = log 0.678 + log 9.01 log 0.0234


log x = .8312 + 0.9547 - .3692
log x = [-1 + 2 ] + [ 0.8312 + 0.9547 0.3692]
log x = 1 + 1.4167

Mantissa = .4167
x = 261
(iv)

Solution

x
Let
x = (2.709)1/5 x (1.239)1/7
Taking log of both sides
log x = log [(2.709)1/5 x (1.239)1/7]
log x = log(2.709)1/5 + log (1.239)1/7
log x = log 2.709 + log 1.239
log x = (0.4328) + (0.0931)
log x = 0.0866 + 0.0133
log x = 0.0999
x = Antilog 0.0999
Ch = 0
Mantissa = .0999
x = 1.259
