$2 \log_{4} (x)$

Step 1

Simplify $2 \log_{4} (x)$ by moving $2$ inside the logarithm.

$\log_{4} (x^{2})$

Step 2

Rewrite $\log_{4} (x^{2})$ using the change of base formula.

Step 2.1

The change of base rule can be used if $a$ and $b$ are greater than $0$ and not equal to $1$ , and $x$ is greater than $0$ .

$\log_{a} (x) = \frac{\log_{b} (x)}{\log_{b} (a)}$

Step 2.2

Substitute in values for the variables in the change of base formula, using $b = 10$ .

$\frac{\log (x^{2})}{\log (4)}$
