Here's the solution for question 3. b):

  1. b) If log⁡4m=12\log_4 m = 12, find log⁡4(m/4)\log_4 (m/4).
  1. Use the logarithm property for division.

    The property states that log⁡b(XY)=log⁡bX−log⁡bY\log_b \left(\frac{X}{Y}\right) = \log_b X - \log_b Y.
    Applying this to the expression log⁡4(m4)\log_4 \left(\frac{m}{4}\right):

    log⁡4(m4)=log⁡4m−log⁡44\log_4 \left(\frac{m}{4}\right) = \log_4 m - \log_4 4
  2. Substitute the given value and evaluate the known logarithm.

    We are given that log⁡4m=12\log_4 m = 12.
    Also, log⁡bb=1\log_b b = 1, so log⁡44=1\log_4 4 = 1.
    Substitute these values into the equation:

    log⁡4(m4)=12−1\log_4 \left(\frac{m}{4}\right) = 12 - 1 log⁡4(m4)=11\log_4 \left(\frac{m}{4}\right) = 11

    The value of log⁡4(m/4)\log_4 (m/4) is 11\boxed{11}.
