Solve the logarithmic equation.
\[
\log _{4} x=4
\]
\[
x=\square
\]
(Simplify your answer. Type an exact answer, using $e$ as needed.)
The solution to the logarithmic equation \(\log _{4} x=4\) is \(x=\boxed{256}\).
Step 1 :The logarithmic equation is in the form \(\log_b a = n\), which can be rewritten in exponential form as \(b^n = a\). In this case, \(b\) is 4, \(n\) is 4, and \(a\) is \(x\). So, we can rewrite the equation as \(4^4 = x\).
Step 2 :\(b = 4\)
Step 3 :\(n = 4\)
Step 4 :\(x = 256.0\)
Step 5 :The solution to the logarithmic equation \(\log _{4} x=4\) is \(x=\boxed{256}\).
