log 1
12
please help i need to evaluate the expression
is that supposed to say
log of 1 with base 12 ?
log any base 1 = 0
To find the logarithm of 12 base 1, we can use the formula:
log base a (b) = log base c (b) / log base c (a)
In this case, we have:
log base 1 (12) = log base c (12) / log base c (1)
Since the logarithm base 1 is undefined, we cannot compute this value.
To find the logarithm of a number, we need to know the base of the logarithm. Assuming you are referring to the common logarithm, which has a base of 10, we can calculate the logarithm of 1 and 12.
Logarithm of 1:
The logarithm of 1 to any base is always 0. So, log₁₀(1) = 0.
Logarithm of 12:
To calculate the logarithm of 12, we use the common logarithm formula: log₁₀(12). The common logarithm gives us the exponent to which the base (10) must be raised to obtain the number (12). In other words, we need to find the power to which 10 must be raised to equal 12.
Now, we can find the logarithm of 12 using a scientific or graphing calculator or an online logarithm calculator. Evaluating log₁₀(12) gives approximately 1.079181246.
Therefore, log₁₀(1) = 0 and log₁₀(12) ≈ 1.079181246.
