Answer

$4 + \log{x}$

Work Step by Step

RECALL: The product rule for logarithms: $\log{bc} = \log{b} + \log{c}$ Use the product rule to obtain: $\log{(10,000x)} \\= \log{(10,000 \cdot x)} \\= \log{10,000} + \log{x} \\=\log{10^4} + \log{x}$ Note that for all real numbers within its domain $\log{10^n}=n$. This means that $\log{10^4} =4$. Thus, $\log{10^4} + \log{x}= 4 + \log{x}$
