Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

If log_4(16) = x, what is the value of x?
  • Step 1: Understand that log_4(16) means 'to what power must 4 be raised to get 16?'
  • Step 2: Recognize that 16 can be written as 4 raised to a power. Specifically, 16 = 4^2.
  • Step 3: Rewrite the logarithm using this information: log_4(16) = log_4(4^2).
  • Step 4: Use the property of logarithms that states log_b(b^a) = a. Here, b is 4 and a is 2.
  • Step 5: Therefore, log_4(4^2) = 2.
  • Step 6: Conclude that x = 2.
