Determine if True log base 4 of 64=3
Problem
Solution
Identify the logarithmic equation and its components, where the base is
4 the argument is64 and the exponent is3 Rewrite the logarithmic equation in its equivalent exponential form using the definition
(log_b)(x)=y⇔by=x Substitute the values into the exponential form to get
4=64 Calculate the value of the exponential expression
4 by multiplying4⋅4⋅4 Compare the result of the calculation to the argument of the logarithm to determine if the statement is true.
Verify that
4⋅4=16 and16⋅4=64
