Transcript text: Use the properties of logarithms to evaluate the expression.
\[
\log 10^{3}
\]
(Simplify your answer.)
Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Evaluate the Logarithm
We start with the expression \( \log 10^{3} \). According to the properties of logarithms, specifically the identity \( \log_b(b^x) = x \), we can simplify this expression directly.
Step 2: Apply the Identity
In our case, the base \( b \) is \( 10 \) and the exponent \( x \) is \( 3 \). Therefore, we can write:
\[
\log 10^{3} = 3
\]
Final Answer
Thus, the simplified value of the expression is
\[
\boxed{3}
\]
