Question

How do I solve 4^x = 12?

Answer 1

\[4^x = 12\]

Answer 2

Its asking you 4^(to the power of what)= 12

Answer 3

Here's a example:
4^x = 32

(2^2)^(x) = 2^5

2 ^(2x) = 2^5

2x = 5

x = 2.5

Answer 4

Hope this helps! :)

Answer 5

@zerosniper123
it seems this method is difficult to apply in this problem

Answer 6

Im sorry I never completed the rest of this, I'm busy with helping others as well. I was just giving him a example, I had not yet finished detailing since that this problem doesn't have a perfect whole number root that he will have to use another method.

Answer 7

u can aply log on both sides and and clear like: \[4^{x}=12\]
\[\log(4^{x})=\log(12)\]
now log propierties = xlog(4)=log(12) then x=log4/log12

Answer 8

@zerosniper123 its okay buddy
@Kewwszz \[x = \frac{ \log12 }{ \log4 }\]
