Answer:

-5 = log₄(0.0009765625)

4 = log₄(256)

Explanation:

Apparently, you want to express a number as a logarithm. That is, you want to find y for some value of x such that ...

x = log₄(y)

Taking antilogs, this is ...

y = 4^x

__

For x =-5, the log expression would be ...

y = 4^-5 = 0.0009765625

log₄(0.0009765625) = -5

__

For x = 4, the log expression would be ...

y = 4^4 = 256

log₄(256) = 4
