Express 100 as 10×10: We are given approximate values for log3(8), log3(10), and log3(11). We need to find the value of log3(100). We can use the property of logarithms that states logb(m×n)=logb(m)+logb(n), where b is the base, m, and n are the numbers. We can express 100 as 10×101.
Apply logarithm property: Using the given approximations, we know that log310 is approximately 2.1. Since 100 is 10×10, we can write log3100 as log3(10×10).
Substitute approximate values: Applying the logarithm property mentioned earlier, we get log3100=log310+log310.
Calculate final value: Substituting the approximate value for log310, we get log3100=2.1+2.1.
Calculate final value: Substituting the approximate value for log310, we get log3100=2.1+2.1. Adding the two values together, we find that log3100 is approximately 2.1+2.1=4.2.
