Question 455075
Solve for x. Give answers to the nearest 100th. 
logBASE4(logBASE8(64))=logBASE5(x) 
thank you!
..
The key here is to understand the definition of a logarithm; that is, the base raised to the logarithm of the number=number.
let us look at your problem one part at a time.
logBASE8(64) is asking the question, what do you raise the base(8) to get 64? The answer is 2 because 8^2=64.So, logBASE8(64)=2
..
logBASE4(2) is asking the question, what do you raise the base(4) to get 2? The answer is 1/2 because 4^(1/2)=2. so, logBASE4(2)=1/2
..
 1/2=logBASE5(x)  is asking the question, what number do you get when you raise the base(5) to the logarithm of the number(1/2). The answer is √5 because 5^1/2=√5.
..
Putting problem back together:
logBASE4(logBASE8(64))=logBASE5(x)
log4(log8(64))=log5(x)
log4(2)=log5(x)
1/2=log5(x)
x=5^(1/2)=√5
