Answer 3

so its =-2 @JakeV8

Answer 4

Why not 2?

Answer 5

oh, wait... I read it backwards at first.

Answer 6

What exponent would you have to raise 64 to get 8?

Answer 7

2

Answer 8

no, that would be 64 squared... 64^2 = 4096

Answer 9

oh im so lost

Answer 10

0

Answer 11

You were on the right track.

8 is the square root of 64, right? Have you ever seen a square root expressed as an exponent?

Answer 12

yeah

Answer 13

\[\sqrt{64} = 64^{\frac{ 1 }{ 2 } }\]

Answer 14

The answer to \[\log _{64}8\]
is the exponent that you would have to raise 64 to to get 8.

Answer 15

oh how did you 1/2

Answer 16

I have to refer to the log definition all the time... here it is again:

\[y = b ^{x} <------> \log _{b}y = x\]

Answer 17

I didn't understand your last comment... was it "how did I get 1/2 ?"

Answer 18

or wrap this math around my head. lol
