Math Problem Statement

Express the equation in logarithmic form. 161/4 = 2

Solution

To express the equation 161/4=216^{1/4} = 2 in logarithmic form, we apply the general rule for logarithmic transformation:

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

Here, a=16a = 16, b=14b = \frac{1}{4}, and c=2c = 2. Using the rule:

log16(2)=14\log_{16}(2) = \frac{1}{4}

Thus, the logarithmic form of the equation 161/4=216^{1/4} = 2 is:

log16(2)=14\log_{16}(2) = \frac{1}{4}
