Question 87130: write log8 1/16=y in it equivalent exponential form
Answer by longjonsilver(2297) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!

this is asking you (or telling you) which number (y) do you need such that 8^y = 1/16

Firstly, answer . You have to know that 8 comes from a power of 2 and also that 16 does too:

so amd then raising this to power 4 gives us 16 -->

So, for 1/16, it will be the negative version...

hope this helps
cheers
