    log[x] 4 = 1/4

    Hint: [x] is the base.

    => From logarithms, log[a] b = c in index form is b = a^c, then by applying this rule, you'll have

    4 = x^(1/4)

    2^2 = x^(1/4)

    => From what you have above, simply multiply all exponents by 4, i.e.

    2^(2*4) = x^(1/4 * 4)

    2^8 = x^(4/4)

    256 = x

    Hence x = 256 ...Ans.
