rewrite as a logarithmic equation
2^-4= 1/16
..
What you have here is the exponential form of a logarithm which is defined as:
The base(2) raised to the logarithm of the number(-4) is = number(1/16)
..
To write it in logarithmic form, then: log2(1/16)=-4. In words this form says: the logarithm of 1/16 to the base 2 is equal to -4.
