evalute the following exactly
a) {{{log(12,1)}}}
b) {{{log(2,16)}}}

<pre><font size = 4 color = "indigo"><b>
{{{log(12,1)}}} asks this question:

"To what power must the base 12 be raised in order to get 1?"

The answer to that question is:

"12 must be raised to the 0 power in order to get 1". 

Therefore {{{log(12,1)=0}}}

{{{log(2,16)}}} asks this question:

"To what power must the base 2 be raised in order to get 16?"

The answer to that question is:

"2 must be raised to the 4 power in order to get 16". 

Therefore {{{log(2,16)=4}}}
