Q. Evaluate.log444Write your answer in simplest form.
Understand the expression: Understand the expression.We need to find the value of log444, which means we are looking for the exponent that 4 must be raised to in order to get the fourth root of 4.
Express as power of 4: Express the fourth root of 4 as a power of 4.The fourth root of 4 can be written as 41/4.
Substitute into logarithm: Substitute the expression into the logarithm.Now we have log4(441).
Apply power rule: Apply the logarithm power rule.The power rule of logarithms states that logb(ac)=c⋅logb(a). In this case, we have log4(441)=41⋅log4(4).
Evaluate log4(4): Evaluate log4(4).Since the base of the logarithm and the number are the same, log4(4)=1.
Multiply by exponent: Multiply the result by the exponent.Now we multiply the result from Step 5 by the exponent from Step 4: (41)×1=41.
Conclude solution: Conclude the solution.The value of log444 is 41.
