Answer:

log4(2) = 0.5000

Explanation:

You are being asked to figure out how to make the value 2 from the values 6 and 3. Your familiarity with arithmetic facts tells you ...

2 = 6/3

Taking logs base 4, you have ...

log4(2) = log4(6/3) = log4(6) -log4(3)

log4(2) = 1.2925 -0.7925

log4(2) = 0.5000

__

Additional comment

This is consistent with your knowledge of factors of 4:

√4 = 4^(1/2) = 2

log4(2) = 1/2

__

Here, we're using "log4" to mean the base-4 logarithm.
