log168= \log _{16} 8=

Full solution

Q. log168= \log _{16} 8=
  1. Find Logarithm Value: We need to find the value of log168\log_{16}8. This means we are looking for the exponent that 1616 must be raised to in order to get 88.
  2. Express in Powers of 22: Since 1616 is 22 raised to the 44th power (16=2416 = 2^4), we can express 88 as a power of 22 as well, which is 232^3 (since 8=238 = 2^3).
  3. Rewrite in Base 22: Now we can rewrite the logarithm in terms of base 22: log168=log24(23)\log_{16}8 = \log_{2^4}(2^3).
  4. Simplify Using Property: Using the property of logarithms that logbk(ak)=logb(a)\log_{b^k}(a^k) = \log_b(a), we can simplify the expression to log24(23)=(34)log2(2)\log_{2^4}(2^3) = \left(\frac{3}{4}\right) \cdot \log_{2}(2).
  5. Evaluate Logarithm: Since log2(2)\log_{2}(2) is 11 (because 22 raised to the power of 11 is 22), we can simplify further: (34)×log2(2)=(34)×1(\frac{3}{4}) \times \log_{2}(2) = (\frac{3}{4}) \times 1.
  6. Final Result: Multiplying (34)(\frac{3}{4}) by 11 gives us 34\frac{3}{4}. So, log168=34\log_{16}8 = \frac{3}{4}.
