Provide an appropriate response.Why is finding the value of a 
like answering the question "What is the name of the boy whose name is John?"
What will be an ideal response?
Answers may vary. One possibility:
Just as in the earlier item, both answers are found within the question. To determine the value of "loga12," one asks the question "What is the power of a that yields 12?" Therefore, the expression in question asks: "a, when raised to the power of a that yields 12, yields what?" The answer is obviously "12."
Reword "What is the name of the boy whose name is John?" as "The name of the boy whose name is John is what?" and note the correlation below:
Question:
| The name | = | a |
| of the boy | = | when raised to the power |
| whose name | = | of a |
| is John | = | that yields 12 |
| is what? | = | yields what? |
Answer:
| John | = | 12 |
