RULE. 



Multiply the loganthm of the given number by the In- 

 dex of the power, and the number answering to the prod- 

 uct will be the power required. 



Note. A negative index, multiplied by an affirmative 

 number, gives a negative product ; and as the number 

 carried from the decimal part is affirmative, their differ- 

 ence with the sign of the greater is, in that case, the in- 

 dex of the product.
