Having a tough time with this question:
If log10(x) = 3 + log10(y), find x/y.
Not really sure how to approach it. Thanks
log10 x = 3 + log 10 y
Note that 3 = log 10 1000
So we actually have
log 10 x = log 10 1000 + log 10 y and by a log property we can write
log 10 x = log 10 ( 1000* y )
This implies that
x = 1000y divide both sides by y
x / y = 1000
