Find n in this equation:  (−2)^n  = 4096
$${Find}\:{n}\:{in}\:{this}\:{equation}: \\ $$$$\left(−\mathrm{2}\right)^{{n}} \:=\:\mathrm{4096} \\ $$

(−2)^n =(1024)×4=(2)^(12) =(−2)^(12)   →n = 12 . @bemath@
$$\left(−\mathrm{2}\right)^{\mathrm{n}} =\left(\mathrm{1024}\right)×\mathrm{4}=\left(\mathrm{2}\right)^{\mathrm{12}} =\left(−\mathrm{2}\right)^{\mathrm{12}} \\ $$$$\rightarrow\mathrm{n}\:=\:\mathrm{12}\:.\:@\mathrm{bemath}@ \\ $$

There isn′t another way to find n  in the same equation ?

 n is even ⇒n=2p   (−2)^n  = 4096⇔ (−2)^(2p) =4096   ⇔4^p =4096 ⇒ln(4^p )=ln(4096)  ln(4)p=ln(4096) ⇒p=((ln(4096))/(2ln(2)))   2p=((ln(4096))/(ln(2)))=12   2p=12=n ⇒n=12.
$$\:{n}\:{is}\:{even}\:\Rightarrow{n}=\mathrm{2}{p} \\ $$$$\:\left(−\mathrm{2}\right)^{{n}} \:=\:\mathrm{4096}\Leftrightarrow\:\left(−\mathrm{2}\right)^{\mathrm{2}{p}} =\mathrm{4096} \\ $$$$\:\Leftrightarrow\mathrm{4}^{\mathrm{p}} =\mathrm{4096}\:\Rightarrow\mathrm{ln}\left(\mathrm{4}^{\mathrm{p}} \right)=\mathrm{ln}\left(\mathrm{4096}\right) \\ $$$$\mathrm{ln}\left(\mathrm{4}\right)\mathrm{p}=\mathrm{ln}\left(\mathrm{4096}\right)\:\Rightarrow\mathrm{p}=\frac{\mathrm{ln}\left(\mathrm{4096}\right)}{\mathrm{2ln}\left(\mathrm{2}\right)} \\ $$$$\:\mathrm{2p}=\frac{\mathrm{ln}\left(\mathrm{4096}\right)}{\mathrm{ln}\left(\mathrm{2}\right)}=\mathrm{12} \\ $$$$\:\mathrm{2p}=\mathrm{12}=\mathrm{n}\:\Rightarrow\mathrm{n}=\mathrm{12}. \\ $$

Please can you explain how (−2)^(2p)  becomes 4p ?

(−2)^(2p) =((−2)^2 )^p =4^p
$$\left(−\mathrm{2}\right)^{\mathrm{2p}} =\left(\left(−\mathrm{2}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} \right)^{\mathrm{p}} =\mathrm{4}^{\mathrm{p}} \\ $$
