@zepdrix

zepdrix (zepdrix):

Notice that your base is 1/2. So similar to the last problem, we're going to try and turn the "contents" of our log into a 1/2 some how

OpenStudy (4everaddicted2anime):

I think it is 3 but i'm not sure

zepdrix (zepdrix):

\[\large\rm \frac{1}{8}=\frac{1}{2^3}=\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^3\]And the 3 comes outside using that rule from before? Yessss good job! :)

OpenStudy (4everaddicted2anime):

yay!

OpenStudy (shaswatrajput):

it means (1/2)^(1/2*1/2*1/2). So ans will be 0.91700403
