Evaluate log of 43

Problem

(log_)(43)

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 x such that 10=43

3. Calculate the value using a calculator or logarithmic table, as 43 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_)(43)≈1.6335
