I cannot figure out how to even plug this into the calculator? If you could explain how to do this ( change tha base to 17 instead of 10) with a scientific calculator.
(10) Use a calculator to compute log17 100Solution
log17 100 = (log10 100) / (log10 17) since logb a = (logc a)/(logc b)
==> (log10 102) / (log10 17)
==> 2 (log10 10) / (log10 17) since log ab = b log a
==> 2 (1) / (log10 17) since logb b = 1
==> 2/ (log10 17)
==> 2/1.23045
==> 1.6254
Hence log17 100 = 1.6254
