log base 1/2 of 4=x

zepdrix (zepdrix):

\[\large \log_{1/2}4=x \qquad \rightarrow \qquad \left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^x=4\] That's another way you can write it :)

zepdrix (zepdrix):

Hmm the answer isn't x=4 ... :o

zepdrix (zepdrix):

Maybe I was misreading your steps though. Change of base would give us this, (changing to base 2) \[\large \log_{1/2}4=\frac{\log_2 4}{\log_2(1/2)}=\frac{2}{-1}\]
