In the given equation the vraible x is in exponent with 4 at base. So to solve this equation we takr log on both side of equation, as
[tex]\log (4^x)=\log 17[/tex]
Further we simplify the expression y using logarthimic property.
Thus first step for solving the equation is taking log on both side. So answer is,
[tex]\log 4^x=\log 17[/tex]
Option A is correct.
