To solve these type of problems what you need to know is this definition of a logarithm:
The base raised to the logarithm of the number is=number. In this case, the base=10, logarithm of the number=1/4, and the number=x. This is known as the exponential form of a logarithm.
Thus,10^(1/4)=x
Using the calculator,
x=10^(1/4)=1.77828 (ans)
