Answer:
The correct answer is option D: [tex]y = 10^{3.994}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
log(y)= 3.994
Solution:
A logarithm base b of a positive number x satisfies the following definition:
[tex]y =log_b(x) => b^y =x[/tex]
For [tex]x > 0, b >0, b \neq 1[/tex]
Also if no base b is indicated, the base of the logarithm is assumed to be 10 .
Thus, in log(y)= 3.994 base b is not indicated. so its base is assumed to be 10
now
[tex]log_{10}(y)= 3.994[/tex]
Then
[tex]y = 10^{3.994}[/tex]
