Evaluate log of 13

Problem

(log_)(13)

Solution

1. Identify the base of the logarithm. In most contexts, (log_)() without a specified base refers to the common logarithm, which is base 10.

2. Apply the definition of the common logarithm, which asks for the power to which 10 must be raised to equal 13.

3. Calculate the numerical value using a calculator or logarithm table, as 13 is a prime number and not a power of 10.

4. Round the result to a standard number of decimal places, typically four.

Final Answer

(log_)(13)≈1.1139
