Recall the definition of the logaritm of a number:
\n" ); document.write( "\"The logarithm of a number is the power to which the base must be raised to equal the number\"
\n" ); document.write( "So when you write \"Log%5B2%5D%28%28x%29%29+=+4\" what you are really writing is...
\n" ); document.write( "\"The base (2) must be raised to the power of 4 to equal x\" or...
\n" ); document.write( "\"2%5E4+=+x\" Simplifying, you get...
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%2816+=+x%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
