Answer

11.

Work Step by Step

The logarithm, base a, of a is 1. ${{\log }_{a}}a=1$ And the power rule for a logarithmic function is: ${{\log }_{a}}{{\left( m \right)}^{n}}=n{{\log }_{a}}\left( m \right)$ Here, $m\text{ and }a$ are positive real numbers, $a\ne 1$ and $n$ can be any real number. Calculation: Consider the logarithmic expression. ${{\log }_{2}}{{2}^{11}}$ ${{\log }_{2}}{{2}^{11}}=11{{\log }_{2}}2$ This gives: $\begin{align} & {{\log }_{2}}{{2}^{11}}=11\left( 1 \right) \\ & =11 \end{align}$ Thus, the value of ${{\log }_{2}}{{2}^{11}}$ is 11.
