Answer:

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

  Given:\log _{x-1}\left(16\right)=4

We have to solve for x.

Consider the given expression \log _{x-1}\left(16\right)=4

\mathrm{Apply\:log\:rule}:\quad \log _a\left(b\right)=\frac{\ln \left(b\right)}{\ln \left(a\right)}

\log _{x-1}\left(16\right)=\frac{\ln \left(16\right)}{\ln \left(x-1\right)}

Thus, the expression becomes,

\frac{\ln \left(16\right)}{\ln \left(x-1\right)}=4

Multiply both side by \ln \left(x-1\right)

\frac{\ln \left(16\right)}{\ln \left(x-1\right)}\ln \left(x-1\right)=4\ln \left(x-1\right)

Simplify, we get,

\ln \left(16\right)=4\ln \left(x-1\right)

Divide both side by 4, we have,

\frac{4\ln \left(x-1\right)}{4}=\frac{\ln \left(16\right)}{4}

\frac{\ln \left(16\right)}{4}:\quad \ln \left(2\right)

Thus, \ln \left(x-1\right)=\ln(2)

\mathrm{When\:the\:logs\:have\:the\:same\:base:\:\:}\log _b\left(f\left(x\right)\right)=\log _b\left(g\left(x\right)\right)\quad \Rightarrow \quad f\left(x\right)=g\left(x\right)

thus, x - 1 = 2

simplify for x, we have,

x = 3
