Question #3385d

Answer 1

`log` is a function and therefore we need an argument to talk about it's value.

Explanation:

`log(x)` is whatever value `y` which is required to make `10^y = x`

`log(1000)` is `3` since `10^3=1000`

The default base for `log` as seen above is `10`.
Other bases can be specified as:
`color(white)("XXX")log_3(x)` which would be the value `y` needed to make `3^y =x`
`color(white)("XXX")log_3(81) = 4` since `3^4=81`
