SUMMARY

The discussion centers on solving the equation log2n(1944) = logn(486√2) to evaluate n6. Participants highlight the importance of converting logarithmic bases, suggesting the use of base 10 or natural logarithms (base e) for simplification. The key takeaway is that transforming the logarithmic expressions correctly is essential for finding the value of n and subsequently n6.

Homework Statement


If log[tex]_{}2n[/tex](1944) = log[tex]_{}n[/tex](486[tex]\sqrt{}2[/tex]) then evaluate n^6

P.S the 2n and n are subscripts.

Homework Equations



log base b(a) = c is the same as a^c = b

The Attempt at a Solution



I tried converting log base 2n to log base n but I ended up nowhere.
