simplify log_{0.5}(4)

Solution

simplify

lo g_{0.5} (4)

Solution

- 2

Solution steps

lo g_{0.5} (4)

Factor the number:

4 = 2^{2}

= lo g_{0.5} (2^{2})

Apply log rule:

lo g_{a} (x^{b}) = b \cdot lo g_{a} (x), x > 0

lo g_{0.5} (2^{2}) = 2 lo g_{0.5} (2)

= 2 lo g_{0.5} (2)

Simplify

lo g_{0.5} (2) : \frac{1}{- 1}

= 2 \cdot \frac{1}{- 1}

Simplify

= - 2
