The value of log₂(x/4) is 22. Using the properties of the logarithm, the required value is calculated.
<h3>What are the required properties of the logarithm?</h3>
The required logarithm properties are
logₐx = n ⇒ aⁿ = x; and logₐ(xⁿ) = n logₐ(x);
Where a is the base of the logarithm.
<h3>Calculation:</h3>
It is given that,
log₄(x) = 12;
On applying the property logₐx = n ⇒ aⁿ = x; here a = 4;
So,
log₄(x) = 12 ⇒ 4¹² = x
⇒ x = (2²)¹² = 2²⁴
Then, calculating log₂(x/4):
log₂(x/4) = log₂(2²⁴/4)
= log₂(2²⁴/2²)
= log₂(2²⁴ ⁻ ²)
= log₂(2²²)
On applying the property logₐ(xⁿ) = n logₐ(x);
log₂(x/4) = 22 log₂2
We know that logₐa = 1;
So,
log₂(x/4) = 22(1)
∴ log₂(x/4) = 22.
