Question

question 2 (multiple choice worth 5 points) (05.02r lc) solve \\( \log x = 5 \\). options: 5, 50, 10,000, 100,000

Explanation:

Step1: Recall log base definition

A common logarithm $\log x$ has base 10, so $\log x = \log_{10} x$.

Step2: Convert to exponential form

If $\log_{10} x = 5$, then $x = 10^5$.

Step3: Calculate the value

$10^5 = 100000$

Answer:

100,000
