Solution

Sure, let's solve the logarithmic expression step by step.

The given expression is: log216log24 \log_2 16 - \log_2 4

Step 1: Use the logarithm subtraction rule. The rule states that logbalogbc=logb(ac)\log_b a - \log_b c = \log_b \left(\frac{a}{c}\right).

So, log216log24=log2(164) \log_2 16 - \log_2 4 = \log_2 \left(\frac{16}{4}\right)

Step 2: Simplify the fraction inside the logarithm. 164=4 \frac{16}{4} = 4

So, log2(164)=log24 \log_2 \left(\frac{16}{4}\right) = \log_2 4

Step 3: Evaluate the logarithm. We need to find the power to which 2 must be raised to get 4. In other words, solve for xx in the equation: 2x=4 2^x = 4

Since 22=42^2 = 4, x=2 x = 2

Therefore, log24=2 \log_2 4 = 2

So, the value of the expression log216log24\log_2 16 - \log_2 4 is: 2 \boxed{2}

The correct answer is D. 2
