A) To take the logarithm base 2 of a number, you would need to use a calculator or a mathematical software that supports logarithmic functions. Most calculators have a "log" or "ln" button, which allows you to calculate the logarithm of a number with a specified base. To calculate the logarithm base 2, you can use the "log" or "log2" function, depending on the calculator or software you are using.

If you want to calculate the logarithm base 2 by hand, you can use the following formula:

log2(x) = log10(x) / log10(2)

Where log10(x) represents the logarithm base 10 of x, and log10(2) represents the logarithm base 10 of 2. However, this method may be more complicated and time-consuming compared to using a calculator.

B) The method mentioned in the previous response applies to positive integers only, as negative numbers and non-integer numbers do not have a valid logarithm base 2. In the case of negative numbers, the logarithm base 2 is undefined. For non-integer numbers, the result of the logarithm base 2 would be a decimal or fractional value, indicating that the number is not a power of two. Therefore, this method is specifically designed for positive integer inputs.
