We'll consider the constraint and we'll take
antilogarithm:
log4 (x) = 12 => x =
4^12
We'll substitute x by 4^12 in the
fraction:
log2 (x/4) = log2
(4^12/4)
Since the exponentials have matching bases, we'll
subtract exponents:
4^12/4 = 4^(12-1) =
4^11
log2 (4^12/4) = log2
(4^11)
We'll use power rule of
logarithms:
log2 (4^11) = 11log2
(4)
But 4 = 2^2
11log2 (2^2) =
22 log2 (2)
But log2 (2) = 1 => 22 log2 (2) =
22
Therefore, log2 (x/4) =
22.
