If 10^a=5, 10^b=6, what is the value of 10^(2a+b). Please use log.

By using log.


We will rewrite
exponent into logarithm forms.


10^a = 5 ==> log 5 =
a...........(1)


10^b = 6 ==> log 6 =
b...........(2)


Now we will find the value of
10^(2a+b)


==> Let 10^(2a+b) =
x


==> we will take log to both
sides.


==> log 10^(2a+b) = log
x


==> 2a+ b= log x


==>
log x = 2*log 5 + log 6


==> Now we will use logarithm
properties to solve.


==> We know that alog b = log
b^a


==> log x = log 5^2 + log
6


==> log x = log 25 + log 6


Now
we know that log a + log b = log (ab)


==> log x = log
25*6


==> log x = log
150


==> x =
150


==> 10^(2a+b) =
150
