I did use brackets - Math (Input=Result) removed them!  Try it!

a=log(sqrt(10)) = 1/2

b=log(sqrt(10)+1) = 

c=log(sqrt(10)+2)

then

    WRONGb2=log(10+1)2=2log(10+1)WRONG      

As Alan has pointed out -

this previous answer is incorrect, question is not of the from log(x2) it is (log x)2 so it should be 

 

b2=[log(10+1)]20.38357 

 

ac=log(10+2)2

Careful with b2

b=log10(10+1)b=0.6193310480660945

bsquared=log10(10+1)2bsquared=0.3835709470986471

2×log10(10+1)=1.238662096132189

Thank you Alan,  i appreciate you pointing out this error.  

I am surprised that you didn't use brackets in your answer because without brackets the meaning is not clear.

(log(sqrt(10)+1))^2=

log10(10+1)2=0.3835709470986471

So it did - another wrinkle for Andre to iron out!

Sorry Alan.

 

PS I have already sent Andre an email telling him of this probem.  I am assuming that he puts calculator errors near the top of his priority list!
