Math Problem Statement

Write in exponential form: log_4 64 =

Solution

The equation shown in the image is log464=x\log_4 64 = x. You are asked to rewrite it in exponential form.

The general rule to convert from logarithmic to exponential form is:

logba=xis equivalent tobx=a\log_b a = x \quad \text{is equivalent to} \quad b^x = a

Here, b=4b = 4, a=64a = 64, and xx is the unknown exponent.

Thus, the logarithmic equation log464=x\log_4 64 = x can be rewritten in exponential form as:

4x=644^x = 64

Would you like to solve for xx or ask any other questions?

Here are 5 related questions to expand on this concept:

  1. What is the value of xx in 4x=644^x = 64?
  2. How would you solve logba=x\log_b a = x for different bases bb?
  3. Can you explain the relationship between logarithms and exponents in more detail?
  4. How do you compute logarithms of non-perfect powers, like log420\log_4 20?
  5. What happens if the base bb is less than 1 in logarithmic equations?

Tip: To switch between logarithmic and exponential form, remember that the base of the logarithm becomes the base of the exponent, and the result becomes the exponentiated value.
