write the equations in logarithmic form
512 = 8 to the 3rd power
exponent = log = 3
base = 8
result = 512
Ans: log8(512) = 3
===========================
16= (1/4) to the -2nd power
log(1/4)16 = -2
--------------------------
a = bc but the c is squared
c^2 = a/b
----
logc(a/b) = 2
--------------------
