Math Problem Statement

Change to Log form: 6 = 4^x

Solution

The equation provided is:

6=4x6 = 4^x

To express this in logarithmic form, we use the general rule:

ab=ccan be written asloga(c)=ba^b = c \quad \text{can be written as} \quad \log_a(c) = b

In your case, the base a=4a = 4, the exponent b=xb = x, and the result c=6c = 6. Thus, the equation in logarithmic form is:

log4(6)=x\log_4(6) = x

Here are 5 related questions to expand your understanding:

  1. How do you convert from logarithmic form back to exponential form?
  2. What is the natural logarithm, and how is it different from other logarithms?
  3. How can you calculate log4(6)\log_4(6) using a calculator?
  4. What are the properties of logarithms that can simplify expressions like log4(6)\log_4(6)?
  5. Can you use change of base formula to express log4(6)\log_4(6) in terms of base 10 or base ee?

Tip: The change of base formula can help when a calculator doesn't support a specific base: logb(a)=logc(a)logc(b)\log_b(a) = \frac{\log_c(a)}{\log_c(b)}.
