Answer:
see explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the rule of logarithms
[tex]log_{b}[/tex] x = n ⇒ x = [tex]b^{n}[/tex]
(1)
[tex]10^{8}[/tex] = 100,000,000 ( with b = 10 and n = 8 )
[tex]log_{10}[/tex] (100,000,000) = 8
(2)
[tex]10^{-4}[/tex] = 0.0001 ( with b = 10 and n = - 4 )
[tex]log_{10}[/tex] (0.0001) = - 4
