Directions: Evaluate or simplify the expression without using a calculator.

2 log 10^6.7

The base is assumed 10, cause it is not given.

I basicall just put it into exponential form, correct me if I am completely wrong with this problem.

2 log 10^6.7

10^2 = 6.7

Is that all there is? Or am I missing something. Thanks

Actually, this is pretty straighforward.

2log(10^{\frac{67}{10}})

Using the log properties, take the exponent of the 10 outside.

\frac{67}{5}log(10)

Now, what is log(10) equal to? You're done.
