Question
Hi! My question is: how do i find the next term in this logarithm sequence?
log[base4]64, log[base8]64. is it log[base32]64? what are the steps in finding the 3rd term? Thanks!

Answer
Hi Emily,

This is a lot like the other one I just sent.

I would say you  have

        log[4] 64  ,  log[8] 64

which you can think of as

        log[2^2] 64 ,  log[2^3] 64,

so I would go with log[2^4] 64 as the next one : log[16] 64
