Problem: log16^1/2.
\n" ); document.write( "I tried solving and I got 4.
\n" ); document.write( "What I'm not sure of is if its negative 4 or positive?
\n" ); document.write( "I might be completly off, but learning what i have about logarithms I think I might be on the right track.
\n" ); document.write( "Please let me know if its negative or positive, and my answer 4 is right.
\n" ); document.write( "-------------
\n" ); document.write( "Check your answer.
\n" ); document.write( "Does \"16%5E4+=+1%2F2\" ?
\n" ); document.write( "No, 16^4 = 65536
\n" ); document.write( "------------
\n" ); document.write( "Does \"16%5E-4+=+1%2F2\" ?
\n" ); document.write( "No, that's 1/65536.
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------
\n" ); document.write( "\"16%5Elog%28x%29+=+1%2F2\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"16%5E%281%2F4%29+=+2\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"16%5E%28-1%2F4%29+=+1%2F2\"
\n" ); document.write( "so \"log%2816%2C1%2F2%29+=+-1%2F4\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
