Question

what is the value of log1/2

Answer 1

log 1/2=log1-log2=0-0.3010=-0.3010

Answer 2

Answer:

The value of log 1/2 is 0.3010.

Step-by-step explanation:

Definition of Logarithm or log: Logarithm is an exponent which is used to raise a fixed number (the base) to get the number y. That is, a logarithm can be represented as follows

$\log _{b}$ x=y  

With b as the base, x be the real number and y be the exponent.

The above question is an logarithm identity, log (a/b) = log a - logb

On applying above identity to log ½, we get

log (1/2)= log1 - log2

=0 - 0.3010

=0.3010
