log4 X=3
----------
Your problem says the log, or exponent, is 3.
It says the base is 4
It says the result of applying that exponent to that base is "x".
x = 4^3
x = 64

log%284%2C%28x%29%29=3 Start with the given equation


4%5E3=x Remember log%28b%2C%28x%29%29=y can be written as b%5Ey=x


64=x Raise 4 to the third power


So our answer is x=64

a logarithm is the exponent that a base must be raised to, to get some value

(base)^(log)=value ___ 4^3=X
