If log(base8)3=p
8^p = 3
---
and log(base3) 5=q
3^q = 5
---
express log(base10) 5 in terms of p and q.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Let log(base 10)5 = x
10^x = 5
Then 10^x = 3^q
Then 10^x = (8^p)^q
Then 10^x = 8^(pq)
Then x = log[8^pq]
Then x = (pq)log(base 10)8
----
So, log(base 10)5 = (pq)log(base 10)8

We use the change of base formula:



and the basic logarithm formulas.

1.  

therefore  

2.  



3.  

therefore

    

    

4.  

Substitute equation 4 into equation 2
