Question

Write the following equation in exponential form ( a b = c ). log₁₀ 0.00001 = − 5.

a) 10⁻⁵ =0.00001
b) 10⁵ =0.00001
c) 10⁻⁵ =100000
d) 10⁵ =100000

Answer 1

The equation log₁₀ 0.00001 = -5 can be written in exponential form as 10^-5 = 0.00001.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation log₁₀ 0.00001 = -5 can be written in exponential form as 10^-5 = 0.00001. In exponential form, the base is 10 raised to the power of the exponent. Here, the base is 10 and the exponent is -5. Since 10 raised to the power of -5 is equal to 0.00001, option a) 10^-5 = 0.00001 is the correct answer.
