Recognize that the logarithm expression is \( \log_4 (4x) \), which is the log base 4 of the product \(4 \times x\).
Use the logarithm product rule: \( \log_b (MN) = \log_b M + \log_b N \). Apply this to split the log into two parts: \( \log_4 4 + \log_4 x \).
Evaluate \( \log_4 4 \). Since the base and the argument are the same, this log equals 1 because \(4^1 = 4\).
Rewrite the expression as \( 1 + \log_4 x \).
Check if further simplification is possible. Since \( \log_4 x \) cannot be simplified without more information, the expression \( 1 + \log_4 x \) is the simplified form.
