Question

log (6 is the base) 12

i came up with 1.8573

Answer 1

log (6 is the base) 12, means:
6^x = 12
xlog 6 = log 12
x = (log 12)/(log 6) = 1.3869

Answer 2

log(base 6)12 is
12=6^x
Then you "hit it with a log"
and get log12=log6^x
Using the Power Property, you can rewrite this as:
log12= xlog6

(log12)/(log 6) =x
1.3869=x

Answer 3

you can change to be

log 12 / log 6

you can put it in your calc then and get the answer...
1.3869
