Question 1010859
Observe that
y = 2^x is the number of runs scored(y) where x is the season (1, 2, 3, .....)
using logarithm definition
x = log (base 2) of y
******************************************************************************
we are given y = 256, therefore
x = log (base 2) of 256
x = 8
the baseball player will score 256 runs in his 8th season
