Question 959195
not sure what this represents.


is this 1 and 1/4 = x or is this 1^(1/4) = x


1 and 1/4 is equal to 1.25 which doesn't seem to be a logarithmic type of problem.


1^(1/4) is equal to 1 raised to the power of (1/4) which can be considered to be a logarithmic type problem.


the exponential form and the logarithmic form go hand in hand based on the following definition of logs.


log(b,x) = y if and only if b^y = x


log(b,x) means log of x to the base of b.


b^y means base of b raised to the power of y.


i will assume you mean 1^(1/4) = x


by the basic definition of logs, this is true if and only if log(1,x) = 1/4.


that means log of x to the base of 1 is equal to 1/4.


your answer is:


log base one of x is equals to one quarter.


that looks like the same as my answer, so i would say you did good.
