Step-by-step solution

3 steps
  1. Apply the sum of logarithms property log⁡bm+log⁡bn=log⁡b(mn)\log_b m + \log_b n = \log_b (m n).

    log⁡104+log⁡1025=log⁡10(4⋅25)\log_{10} 4 + \log_{10} 25 = \log_{10} (4 \cdot 25)
  2. Multiply the arguments.

    4⋅25=1004 \cdot 25 = 100

    Substitute:

    log⁡10(4⋅25)=log⁡10100\log_{10} (4 \cdot 25) = \log_{10} 100
  3. Evaluate log⁡10100\log_{10} 100.

    Since 102=10010^{2} = 100,

    log⁡10100=2\log_{10} 100 = 2

    Final answer: 2
