These problems are easy if you understand what logarithms are and have a basic understanding of exponents.
Logarithms are exponents. The expression:
represents the exponent for a that results in b. In other words, it represents the power of a that results in b.
So
represents the power of 8 that results in 1/8. So what power of 8 is 1/8? Answer: -1. (If this is not clear to you, then review what an exponent of -1 means.) So
Your second expression
