Question 254453: The third answer in each row can be obtained from the first two answers in that row. Explore these examples to conjecture a way to combine the first two answers to get the third.
log8(512), log2(512), log16(512)
log1/5(125), log1/125(125), log1/625(125)
log7(49), log49(49), log343(49)
log4(64), log8(64), log32(64)
I've tried using exponents to combine them but I can't seem to find anything that is constant enough that I can use it for all of them. Can you please show me how to go about doing this? Thank you =)

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
log8(512), log2(512), log16(512)
8*2=16
They all follow this pattern
