When You Cannot Evaluate a Log
In this lesson, we learn how to evaluate a logarithmic function when it is not possible to do so. The example problem is two raised to what number equals negative 16. The teacher shows us how to transfer the problem to exponential form and then explains why it is not possible to evaluate this function. We learn that even if we try to make x negative, it will still not work. Therefore, the answer is that it is impossible to evaluate this function.

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.
