The problem I am having trouble with is:

log?x=?(log?x )

The answers are supposed to be 1 and 10^16, but I have no idea how to solve it. Thanks!

Please try to write your problem in another format - some parts of it are not displaying properly.

\(\displaystyle log{\sqrt[4]{x}} \ = \ \sqrt{logx}\)


Rewrite:

\(\displaystyle log({x^\frac{1}{4}}) \ =\ \sqrt{logx}\)


Rewrite:

\(\displaystyle \frac{1}{4}log{x} \ =\ \sqrt{log{x}}\)


Square each side:

\(\displaystyle \frac{1}{16}(log{x})^2 \ = \ logx\)


You could multiply each side by 16:


\(\displaystyle (log{x})^2 \ = \ 16(log{x})\)


Can you continue with this?
