hi
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Recall that
\[log_4x =k \iff 4^k = x\]
How are you wanting it written?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
2?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
any way
OpenStudy (anonymous):
is x rite?

Oh, sure.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
So what base do you want to use?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Common bases are 10 or e.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
answer is log10(x/log10)(8)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
So you want to use 10 for the base?

yeah

Ok, so remember what I said..
\[log_4(x) = k \iff 4^k = x\]
If \[4^k = x\]Then
\[log_{10}(4^k) \ log_{10}(x)\]\[\implies k\cdot log_{10}(4) = log_{10}(x)\]\[\implies k = {log_{10}(x)\over log_{10}(4)}\]
But since \(k = log_4(x)\) We have:
\[log_4(x) = {log_{10}(x)\over log_{10}(4)}\]
