I think it is 22 but I'm not sure
OpenStudy (anonymous):
@AlexandervonHumboldt2 is it 22
OpenStudy (michele_laino):
hint:
if \[\large Lo{g_4}x = 12\]
then:
what is x?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):
we have to apply the definition of logarithm
OpenStudy (anonymous):
okay
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so what is the def.
OpenStudy (michele_laino):
so, we have:
that definition is:
the logarithm of a number is the exponent to which we have to poer the base of that logarithm in order to get that number
OpenStudy (michele_laino):
oops..power the base

so 3
OpenStudy (michele_laino):
no, example:
if we have:
\[\large Lo{g_4}N = A\]
then applying the definition of logarithm, we get:
\[\large N = {4^A}\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
okay
OpenStudy (michele_laino):
now, we have:
\[\large Lo{g_4}x = 12\]
so, what is x?
OpenStudy (michele_laino):
we have to apply the formula above

OpenStudy (anonymous):
okay so it is 22
OpenStudy (michele_laino):
explanation:
I apply the definition of logarithm and I get:
\[\large x = {4^{12}}\]
OpenStudy (michele_laino):
please tell me when I may continue
OpenStudy (anonymous):
48
OpenStudy (michele_laino):
no, since we can write:
\[\large \frac{x}{4} = \frac{{{4^{12}}}}{4} = ...?\]
