Answer:

A. The solution set is {4096}.

Explanation:

Given the logarithmic equation:


(1)/(2) \log _(6) x=3 \log _(6) 4

Multiply both sides of the equation by 2:


\begin{gathered} (1)/(2)*2\log_6x=3*2\log_64 \\ \log_6x=6\log_64 \end{gathered}

Next, apply the power law of logarithms to the right side of the equation.


\begin{gathered} \log_6x=\log_64^6 \\ \implies\operatorname{\log}_6x=\operatorname{\log}_64096 \end{gathered}

Since the bases are the same, equate the numbers:


x=4096

The solution set is {4096}.
