Step 1.1

Factor $32$ out of $64$ .

$\log_{4} (\sqrt[5]{32 (2)})$

Step 1.2

Rewrite $32$ as $2^{5}$ .

$\log_{4} (\sqrt[5]{2^{5} \cdot 2})$

Step 2

Pull terms out from under the radical.

$\log_{4} (2 \sqrt[5]{2})$

Step 3

Rewrite $\log_{4} (2 \sqrt[5]{2})$ using the change of base formula.

Step 3.1

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 3.2

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

$\frac{\log (2 \sqrt[5]{2})}{\log (4)}$

Step 4

The result can be shown in multiple forms.

Exact Form:

$\frac{\log (2 \sqrt[5]{2})}{\log (4)}$

Decimal Form:

$0.6$
