log(100000) = 5

All your need to do is try to understand what LOG represents.
The answer would be:
Log(100000) = 5
In this case the base for Log is 10. You just don't write 10 as a base.
To help you better understand it, consider this problem.
Write 3^3 = 27 as a function of LOG
It would be
Log 3^27 = 3
What you are trying to say is that 3 raised to what power equals 27 if you were given the left side of the equation
All you do to write a Log function is that you take the number you are using and put it beside LOG and when raised to a power the answer you get put it as power of the number you raise to log and put the exponent on right side.

log[base- to the number you are applying the power to]answer= power

so the answer to your question would be log[base10]100,000=5

with 10 being the number you're applying the power to
5 being the power
100,000 being the answer

so if you had to express this as a log : 4^13=67,108, 864
it would be log[base 4] 67,108,864 = 13

i hope this helps =)
