Just apply the basic logarithmic rules
Try it yourself :)
Using
\[\huge a^x=b \leftarrow \rightarrow \log_ab=x\]

these problems are designed to confuse.
usually \(b\) represents the base
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok (: is 80 b?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so you have to thing abstractly
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I love math, but these confusing things & using LOG, i hate. lol

oh believe me logs are your friends
OpenStudy (anonymous):
really?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
81 = a
82 = e ??
OpenStudy (anonymous):
if you want to solve
\[2^x=50\] where the variable is in the exponent, you cannot do it with algebra
you need logs
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes and yes

Thanks.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yw, actually you did all the work yourself
OpenStudy (anonymous):
So say it asked me to evaluate log little 4 64 how would i do that?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
rewrite in equivalent exponential form (that was the point of the previous problems)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
If i put another picture in a new thread, could you show/help me how to do them?

sure
did you get this one
\[\log_4(64)=y\]
\[4^y=64\] if you put it in that form, the answer should be obvious (more or less)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
think about what \(\log_4(64)\) means. it is the exponent, the number you would raise 4 to to give the result of 64
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yeah, i got that one thank you. (: what did you type to make that show up as a little 4?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\log_4(64)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
