0.0004

4.004

40.04

400.4 Correct answer

4004

Answer Details

The logarithm of a number to base 10 is the power to which 10 is raised to give the number. Therefore, if log₁₀x = y, then x = 10^y. In this case, the logarithm to base 10 is given as 2.6025. Therefore, the number is x = 10^2.6025. Using a calculator, we get x ≈ 400.4. Therefore, the number whose logarithm to base 10 is 2.6025 is approximately 400.4.
