RE: Bug: HP Prime can't do Log's

(I'm pretty sure only the 49/50 in CAS mode would return that btw) Tim, these calculations involve intermediate (rounded) 12-digit results. From the user's perspective, LOG(81,3) is a single function, much like ^ or XROOT (I'm referring to the 48 as I do not have a Prime). Yet XROOT(4,81) does return 3, exactly - even if, internally, it's also implemented using natural logs and exponentiation. The same ought to be possible with log?
