Answer:

  •  1000

Step-by-step explanation:

  • [tex]log_{10}x = 3 + log_{10}y[/tex]
  • [tex]log_{10}x - log_{10}y = 3[/tex]
  • [tex]log_{10}(x/y) = 3[/tex]
  • [tex]x/y = 10^3[/tex]
  • [tex]x/y = 1000[/tex]

Answer:

  x/y = 10^3 = 1000

Step-by-step explanation:

The rules of logarithms tell you ...

  log(x/y) = log(x) -log(y)

__

Here, we have ...

  log(x/y) = log(x) -log(y)

  = (3 +log(y)) -log(y) = 3 . . . . . . . . substittute for log(x)

Taking the antilog, we get ...

  log(x/y) = 3

  x/y = 10^3 = 1000

Additional comment

The expression log(x) is often used to refer to the "common log" of x, which is the logarithm to the base 10. This lets us avoid the cumbersome notation log_10(x).

In more formal mathematics, log(x) may be used to refer to the natural log. The distinction is usually made in high school algebra by referring to the natural log using ln(x).
