The equation has to be solved for
x.
First convert all the logarithm to a common base. As the
numbers here are 2 and powers to two we use the base 2. Use the following property
useful when changing the base of logarithms.
(log_n x)/(log_n b)
2
2
2
use the property
a
2
Now
- (log_2 x)/(2*1) = 2
If
yx = b^y
x =
16
The required solution is x = 16
