The expression can be evaluated to 2.19.

Explanation:

=>sqrt(20log2 - log16)

Use the rule alogn = logn^a.

=>sqrt(log(2^20) - log16)

=> sqrt(log1,048,576 - log16)

Now, use the rule loga - logn = log(a/n).

=>sqrt(log(65536))

This can be evaluated, but it cannot be simplified to exact form.

We have

=>2.19

Hopefully this helps!
