Mathematics JAMB 2009

If log\(_{10}\)2 = 0.3010 and log\(_{10}\)7 = 0.8451, evaluate log\(_{10}\)280

  • 3.4471
  • 2.4471 checkmark
  • 1.4471
  • 1.4071

The correct answer is: B

Explanation

Log 2 = 0.3010, Log 7 = 0.8451
∴Log 280 = Log 28 x 10
= Log 7x4x10
=Log7 + Log4 + Log10
= Log7 + Log2\(^2\) + Log10
= Log7 + 2Log2 + Log10
= 0.8451 + 2(0.3010) + 1
= 0.8451 + 0.6020 + 1
= 2.4471
