Answer

$\dfrac{1}{3}$

Work Step by Step

We are asked to evaluate: $\log_{64}{4}$ Recall the power property of logarithms (pg. 462): $\log_b{m^n}=n\log_b{m}$ Using this property, we get: $\log_{64}{4}=\log_{64}{64^{1/3}}=\frac{1}{3}\log_{64}{64}=\frac{1}{3}\times 1=\frac{1}{3}$ Here we used the fact that $64^{1/3}=4$ (since $4^3=64$). We also used the fact that $\log_{64}{64}=1$ (because $64^1=64$).
