Answer

$\dfrac{1}{64}$

Work Step by Step

RECALL: $\log_b{x}=y \longrightarrow b^y=x.$ Use the rule above to write the given equation in exponential form, then solve the equation to obtain $\begin{array}{ccc} &4^{-3} &= &x \\&\frac{1}{4^3} &= &x \\&\frac{1}{64} &= &x \end{array}.$ Thus, $x=\dfrac{1}{64}$.
