will log with the little 4 at the bottom then 4/3. i can directly use the quotient property right? so i will get log with the little 4 at the bottom then 4 - log with the little four at the bootm and 3

but i have a doubt. won't you expand logwith the little 4 at the bottom and 4. for example that four can become 2^2 then you do power property. right?

ahh im getting diffrent answers. whats right?

You are correct about the first part of the question, and if I understand the second part of the question, you're correct about that one too.
Logs, regardless of the base, "the little number at the bottom" all obey the rules regarding logarithms.
In the future, you might find phraseology ."log base 4" a little less cumbersome
And thanks. It's refreshing to see somebody post a question indicating some prior thought on it. I'm sure at least some of the others do too, it's just nice to see some indication of it.

No no. log base 4 of 4 is just 1
So the answer is 1-log base 4 of 3

log_4 (4/3) = log_4 (4) - log_4 (3)
= log_4 2^2 - log_4 (3)
= 2log_4 (2) - log_4 (3)
_4 means "to the base 4"

logbase4(4/3)=
logbase4(4) - logbase4(3)
answer: 1-logbase4(3)
