Question

If logₓ 16 = 2, find x.

Answer 1

Convert into exponential form

X^2 = 16
X = 4

Answer 2

Base is 4

Explanation:

logₓ 16 = 2

logₓ 16 can be written in exponential form as x² = 16

Let's write 16 in the form of x².

Factor of 16 is 4 * 4 = 4²

So x = 4.

Hence solved. logₓ 16 = 2, base is 4.
