Assignment:
Fill in the blank to make a true statement. To solve 4^x =27, we can take the logarithm of each side of the equation to get log (4^x) = log (27). The power rule for logarithms would then provide a way of moving the variable x from it's position as an _________ to the position of a coefficient.
Is the blank, negative value, base, function, or log?
Provide complete and step by step solution for the question and show calculations and use formulas.
