Calculating 10^0.1 by Hand
In this video I go over how to manually calculate powers 10^0.1, 10^0.2, 10^0.3, ..., 10^0.9 by hand by first using the approximation 10^0.3 = 2. Calculating such powers by hand directly in the same way for multiplication and long division is not possible and requires the use of logarithms or Taylor series. Nonetheless, we can manually approximate such powers by realizing that 10^0.03 is approximately equal to 2 (with an error of -0.24%). This means we can approximate multiples of 10^0.03 by multiplying by 2. For example 10^0.06 is approximately equal to 4. Note that the error becomes double because we multiplied by 2. To get powers such as 10^0.1, we can multiply 10^(0.03 * 7) = 10^2.1 ≈ 2^7 = 128. Then we can divide both sides by 10^2 = 100 to get an approximation 10^0.1 ≈ 1.28. Applying the correction of 7*0.24% we obtain 10^0.1 ≈ 1.2585 which is very close to the actual number 1.2589.
