Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

If log_a(16) = 4, what is the value of a? (2021)
  • Step 1: Start with the equation log_a(16) = 4.
  • Step 2: Understand that log_a(16) = 4 means that a raised to the power of 4 equals 16.
  • Step 3: Rewrite the equation as a^4 = 16.
  • Step 4: Recognize that 16 can be expressed as 2 raised to the power of 4, so rewrite it: a^4 = 2^4.
  • Step 5: Since both sides of the equation have the same exponent (4), we can set the bases equal to each other: a = 2.
  • Logarithmic Equations – Understanding how to manipulate logarithmic equations to find the base.
  • Exponential Equations – Converting logarithmic forms to exponential forms to solve for unknowns.
