Question

which of the following shows the equation \\(\log_4(x+6) = 2\\) rewritten using logarithms?

  • \\(4^{\log_4(x+6)} = 2^2\\)
  • \\(4^{\log_4(x+6)} = 4^4\\)
  • \\(\log_4(x+6) = \log_4 16\\)
  • \\(\log_4(x+6) = \log_2 16\\)

Explanation:

Rewrite the constant using a logarithm of base 4

$$ 2 = \log_4(4^2) = \log_4(16) $$

Substitute the rewritten constant back into the equation

$$ \log_4(x + 6) = \log_4(16) $$

Answer:

  • (A) \(4^{\log_4(x+6)} = 2^2\)
  • (B) \(4^{\log_4(x+6)} = 4^4\)
  • (C) \(\log_4(x+6) = \log_4 16\) (Correct answer)
  • (D) \(\log_4(x+6) = \log_2 16\)
