Problem

(log_2)(x)=4

Solution

1. Identify the logarithmic equation, which is in the form (log_b)(x)=y

2. Apply the definition of a logarithm to rewrite the equation in exponential form x=by

3. Substitute the given values b=2 and y=4 into the exponential form.

x=2

4. Evaluate the power by multiplying 2 by itself four times.

x=16

Final Answer
