1=104= 104:
Thus log
10(1=10000) = log10104=4log1010 =4;where
we have used rule 4 to write log1010 = 1.(b)Find log366:We have 6 =p36 = 3612:

Section 8: Change of Bases 128. Change of BasesThere is one other rule for logarithms which is extremely useful in
practice. This relates logarithms in one base to logarithms in a dier- ent base.
