Answer 1

I’m not sure how to read the equation you typed. Could you confirm the exact expression (and the base of the log)? For example, do you mean any of these?

1) 10·log(x) = 11047
2) 10^{log x} = 11047
3) log_{10} x = 11047
4) log_{10} x = −47

If you meant 4) (log base 10 of x equals −47) then x = 10^(−47), which is the first choice. If you meant 2) then x = 11047 (not listed). If you meant 1) or 3) the solutions are huge (10^{1104.7} or 10^{11047}, not among the choices).

Tell me which form is correct and I’ll solve it exactly.
