In the given question, we have a few logarithmic equations and we are told to solve each of this equation.
00:09
So first up we have the equation log with base 4 of x is equal to 2.
00:16
So first we should look at what the base of the logarithm is, right? so the base is 4, right? and now we can use a property that says a number a raised to log with base a of some expression say n is equal to n.
00:42
So how do we use this property over here? so what we do is to take both sides of this equation as power of a number and we choose the number as the base of the logarithm in the problem.
00:55
So what it does is when we take 4 raised to the power log with base 4 of x is equal to 4 raised to the power 2.
01:06
When we take powers, when we take this equations, the both sides of the equation as powers of 4, we can apply this property over here since we can see that we have 4 raised to the power log with base 4.
01:23
Right? so then the left hand side would simplify to x and the right hand side we have four square which is equal to 16.
01:32
So now we have found the solution of the equation as x equal to 16.
01:39
So next up we have the equation two, equation b which is given as log with base 8 of x is equal to negative 1...
