(a)2
(b)4
(c)$2+2 \log _{10} 2$
(d)$4-4 \log _{10} 2$
Answer
Explanation
$$\begin{aligned} & 2 \log _{10} 5+\log _{10} 8-\frac{1}{2} \log _{10} 4= \\ & \quad+\log _{10}\left(5^{2}\right) \\ & =\log _{10} 25+\log _{10} 8-\log _{10} 2=\log _{10}\left(\frac{25 \times 8}{2}\right) \\ & \quad=\log _{10} 100=2 . \end{aligned}$$
