How do you calculate log87.9 with a calculator? Precalculus Properties of Logarithmic Functions Functions with Base b 1 Answer Shwetank Mauria Sep 6, 2016 log87.9=0.9939 Explanation: Let logba=x. Hence bx=a and log (to the base 10) on both sides, we get xlogb=loga or x=logalogb Hence logba=logalogb and log87.9=log7.9log8 = 0.89760.9031 = 0.9939 Answer link Related questions What is the exponential form of logb35=3?
