One of the rules of logs is that logb (x^y) = y*logb(x).


logb(6) = 1/4 and logb (36) = logb(6^2) = 2*logb(6) = 2*(1/4) = 2/4 = 1/2.

Hope the solution helped. Sometimes you need more than a solution. Contact fcabanski@hotmail.com for online, private tutoring, or personalized problem solving (quick for groups of problems.)
