Question

Characteristics of log0.00226

Answer 1

ANSWER

-3

Step-by-step explanation:

Characteristic of a logarithm can be of any sign but the mantissa is always non-negative.

Mathematically it is floor(log(x))

So log(1024) = log(1000 * 1.024)

=> log(1024) = log(1000) + log (1.024)

=> log(1024) = 3 + 0.0103 = 3.0103

Similarly, log(0.0054) = log(0.001 * 5.4)

=> log(0.0054) = -3 + 0.7323.

So characteristic of logarithm of 0.0054 is
