Negatives cause no problem: log10x = -3 means x = 10-3 = 0.001 It doesn't make sense, though, to FIND the logarithm of a negative number: log10(-8) = ???? (unless you know about complex numbers . . . )

For any logarithm

10^(-x) can be re-written as '1/10^(x)'.

NB Note the negatrive has gone.

So of x = 2

Them

1/10^(2) =

1/100 =

0.01

Or 10^(-2) = 0.01
