Question 423794: i dont understand why im getting 1/2 for my answer when i work the equation log2 16 out when the answer is 4 what i did was reworte the problme out which is log 2 16 log2 16=x 16=2x 4 2=(2)1 x 4 2=2 1x =2/1=x but when i do 2/1 *2/1 i get 4 what im doing wrong

log2(16) = x
The exponent equiv of logs
2^x = 16
2 * 2 * 2 * 2 = 16, therefore
x = 4
