SOLUTION: Hi, I have a question that is assume log4=.6021 determine log1\16. I know I can do this on the calculator and find log 1/16 is -1.2041, but that gives me no understanding of the p

Question 50654: Hi, I have a question that is assume log4=.6021 determine log1\16. I know I can do this on the calculator and find log 1/16 is -1.2041, but that gives me no understanding of the problem. Is there a way to do working out to come to the solution??? thanks very much.

Given log 4 = .6021, notice that 1/16 is actually .

So, log 1/16
= log 4^-2
= -2* log 4
=-2(.6021)
=-1.2042
