4^{3k}=6
Use the rules of exponents and logarithms to solve the equation.
\log(4^{3k})=\log(6)
Take the logarithm of both sides of the equation.
3k\log(4)=\log(6)
The logarithm of a number raised to a power is the power times the logarithm of the number.
3k=\frac{\log(6)}{\log(4)}
Divide both sides by \log(4).
3k=\log_{4}\left(6\right)
By the change-of-base formula \frac{\log(a)}{\log(b)}=\log_{b}\left(a\right).
k=\frac{\log_{2}\left(6\right)}{2\times 3}
Divide both sides by 3.
