For log x ( y 3 ) = 2 \log_x(y^3)= 2 we get that log x ( y ) = 2 3 \log_x(y) = \frac{2}{3} . As log x ( y ) = 1 log y ( x ) \log_x(y) = \frac{1}{\log_y(x)} , we then get log y ( x ) = 3 2 \log_y(x) = \frac{3}{2} , and then log y ( x 4 ) = 4 log y ( x ) = 4 ( 3 2 ) = 6 \log_y(x^4) = 4\log_y(x) = 4(\frac{3}{2}) = 6
