Math Problem Statement

Write each equation in logarithm form a) 4^-2=1/16

Solution

To write the given equation in logarithmic form, we use the logarithmic rule:

ab=cis equivalent tologa(c)=ba^b = c \quad \text{is equivalent to} \quad \log_a(c) = b

For the equation 42=1164^{-2} = \frac{1}{16}, the base is 4, the exponent is -2, and the result is 116\frac{1}{16}.

Thus, the logarithmic form is:

log4(116)=2\log_4\left(\frac{1}{16}\right) = -2
