Write the following equation in its equivalent logarithmic form.
3√8 = 2
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This equation is wrong.
This equality is FALSE.
-------------
comment from student: Hi, Can you explain why it is false? I have 4 choices to choose from and none are true/false.
A. Log2 3 = 1/8 B. Log8 2 = 1/3 C. Log2 8 = 1/2 D. Log3 2 = 1/8

My responce. Sure, I can.
Because  is not equal to 2, and never was equal, and never will be equal.
Look into the equation you posted originally.
And now you answer me: do you read what you post?
-------------------------------------
Comment from student: Yes, I do read what I post. This is a question I got wrong on a quiz, but I didn't understand
why I did, which is why I asked here. To get some understanding. That is the equation that was given and in the above response
I included the possible answers to see if any were right. So if you're saying there is no possible
answer I need to send a note to the teacher.
-------------------------------------
My response: OK, now I know what is the problem.
The correct writing of this equation is  = 2.
Then its equivalent logarithmic form is  =  , option B.
You mistakenly posted this equation in the form = 2,
which is far from the correct form = 2.
============================
With it, I'd like to stop this discussion and do not continue it more.
