Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

If log_4(x) = 1/2, what is the value of x?
Correct Answer: 2
  • Step 1: Understand that log_4(x) = 1/2 means that 4 raised to the power of 1/2 equals x.
  • Step 2: Rewrite the equation in exponential form: x = 4^(1/2).
  • Step 3: Calculate 4^(1/2). This means finding the square root of 4.
  • Step 4: The square root of 4 is 2.
  • Step 5: Therefore, x = 2.
