Question 1183351
<font face="Times New Roman" size="+2">


MathLover1's solution to the problem is perfect; I'm only commenting to show you the most universally understood notation for plain text rendering of a logarithm function where the base must be specified:


log_b(x) is the correct way to render *[tex \Large \log_b(x)].


In general, the underscore character indicates a subscript.  If the subscript consists of more than one character, enclose it in curly braces, thus:


x_{10} is understood to mean *[tex \Large x_{10}]


In the case of logs or other "spelled out" functions, such as trigonometry functions and their inverses, form the habit of enclosing the argument in parentheses.


log_4 12.7 is understandable, but log_4(12.7) is better.
