Exactly
Well you do agree that Log(T) = Log(10x^2) - Log(zy)
To begin with
Now let us remember another thing
What does Log do to a multiplication ?
$Log(ab) = Log(a) + Log(b)$
Daddy_314
So what can be said about Log(10x^2) ?
Yes
But we can do even more
$Log(x^2) = Log(x \times x) = Log(x) + Log(x) = 2 Log(x)$
Daddy_314
This is also called Logs power rule
Why
Well your teacher said
$Log(a^b) = b Log(a)$
Daddy_314
And so $Log(x^2) = 2Log(x)$

I just applied another property to find the same result
Why I do this is because it's better to memorize as few rules as possible
Not as many
Log is base 10 in general
And Ln is base e
What you just said here worries me
Coz it comes out of nowhere and doenst make sense
Let us stick to
Simplicity
So from here
We get
= Log(10) + 2 Log(x) - ....
I let you continue
Keep the Log(10) for now we will talk about it later
There are no tricks here
Just applying the rules we just saw
The best way to learn is by doing
And making mistakes
