What is the value of log(base 4)a^4?
Suppose x = log (base 4) a^4
Then by definition of the log (base 4) we have:
x^4 = a^4
x = a

What is the value of log(base 4)a^4?
--------------
log%284%2Ca%5E4%29
= 4log%284%2Ca%29
----------------
Nothing else can be determined.
It's "None of the above" for your choices

From the other tutor:
Then by definition of the log (base 4) we have:
x^4 = a^4 *** It's actually 4^x, not x^4
