Well, is it log\frac((0.02))((0.07))log(0.02)(0.07) or log(0.02)/0.07log(0.02)0.07? Use your calculator.

color(blue)(log\frac((0.02))((0.07))) = log(2/7) = log 2 - log 7log(0.02)(0.07)=log(27)=log2log7

= 0.3010 - 0.8451 = color(blue)(-0.5441...)

color(blue)(log(0.02)/0.07) = (log(2cdot10^(-2)))/(7 cdot 10^(-2))

= (log2 - 2log10)/(7 cdot 10^(-2))

= (100log2 - 200log10)/7

= (30.10 - 200)/7

= 28/7 + 2.10/7 - 210/7 + 10/7

= 4.00 + 0.30 - 30.00 + 1.42857

= color(blue)(-24.27)
