1000\times 0.01^{2x}=0.1
Use the rules of exponents and logarithms to solve the equation.
0.01^{2x}=0.0001
Divide both sides by 1000.
\log(0.01^{2x})=\log(0.0001)
Take the logarithm of both sides of the equation.
2x\log(0.01)=\log(0.0001)
The logarithm of a number raised to a power is the power times the logarithm of the number.
2x=\frac{\log(0.0001)}{\log(0.01)}
Divide both sides by \log(0.01).
2x=\log_{0.01}\left(0.0001\right)
By the change-of-base formula \frac{\log(a)}{\log(b)}=\log_{b}\left(a\right).
x=\frac{2}{2}
Divide both sides by 2.
