Question 135656: Hi,
Can you help me with this math problem?
14.) If a logarithmic equation is given, then rewrite it as an equivalent exponential equation. If an exponential equation is given, then rewrite it as an equivalent logarithmic equation.
4-2=1/16
the answer should be log4(1/16)=-2

If a logarithmic equation is given, then rewrite it as an equivalent exponential equation. If an exponential equation is given, then rewrite it as an equivalent logarithmic equation.
4^-2=1/16
-------
The exponent, or log, is -2
The base is 4
The inverse-log is 1/16
------------------------------
The answer is log4(1/16)=-2
