Evaluating a Logarithm with a Fractional Exponent
In this lesson, we learn how to evaluate a logarithm with a fractional exponent. By plugging in x equals 4, we simplify log base 16 of 4 to 16 raised to what power gives me 4. Since 16 is larger than 4, we need to find a fraction that is less than 1, which results in us raising 16 to the 1/4 power. This means we need to find the fourth root of 16, and raising it to the 1/5 power gives us the answer of 4.
Evaluating a logarithm when your exponent is a fraction
I show how to solve math problems online during live instruction in class. This is my way of providing free tutoring for the students in my class and for students anywhere in the world. Every video is a short clip that shows exactly how to solve math problems step by step. The problems are done in real time and in front of a regular classroom. These videos are intended to help you learn how to solve math problems, review how to solve a math problems, study for a test, or finish your homework. I post all of my videos on YouTube, but if you are looking for other ways to interact with me and my videos you can follow me on the following pages through My Blog, Twitter, or Facebook.
