csat-suneung · South-Korea · csat__math-B 4 marks Laws of Logarithms Characteristic and Mantissa of Common Logarithms
For a real number $x > 1$, let $f ( x )$ and $g ( x )$ be the characteristic and mantissa of $\log x$ respectively. When the value of $3 f ( x ) + 5 g ( x )$ is a multiple of 10, the values of $x$ are listed in increasing order. Let the 2nd value be $a$ and the 6th value be $b$. What is the value of $\log a b$?
