Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

If log_a(64) = 6, what is the value of a?
  • Step 1: Understand the equation log_a(64) = 6. This means that 'a' raised to the power of 6 equals 64.
  • Step 2: Rewrite the equation in exponential form: a^6 = 64.
  • Step 3: Recognize that 64 can be expressed as a power of 2. Specifically, 64 = 2^6.
  • Step 4: Now we have a^6 = 2^6. This means that 'a' must be equal to 2 because both sides have the same exponent (6).
  • Step 5: Therefore, the value of 'a' is 2.
