5장, 문제 23
Evaluate each expression without using a calculator. log2 64
검증된 단계별 안내1
Recognize that the expression \( \log_2 64 \) asks for the exponent to which the base 2 must be raised to get 64.
Express 64 as a power of 2. Since \( 64 = 2^6 \), rewrite the expression as \( \log_2 (2^6) \).
Use the logarithmic identity \( \log_b (b^x) = x \) to simplify \( \log_2 (2^6) \) to 6.
Therefore, \( \log_2 64 = 6 \), meaning 2 raised to the 6th power equals 64.
This completes the evaluation without using a calculator.

Logarithms and Their Definition
A logarithm answers the question: to what exponent must the base be raised to produce a given number? For example, log base 2 of 64 asks, '2 raised to what power equals 64?' Understanding this definition is essential to evaluate logarithmic expressions.
