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

(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

(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

Let
x=
Taking log of both sides
log x = log
log x = log 1.23 + log 0.6975 [ log 0.0075 + log 1278]
log x = 0.0899 + .8435 [ .8751 + 3.1065]
log x = 0.0899 + .8435 - .8751 3.1.65
log x = 0.0899 1 + 0.8435 + 3 - 0.8751 3 - 0.1065
log x = (-1 + 3 + 3) + ( 0.0899 + 0.8435 0.8751 0.1065)
log x = -1 0.0482
log x = -1.0482
log x = + (2 -1.0482)
