Question 141567
{{{log(2,(8))}}}
<pre><font size = 4 color = "indigo"><b>
First we must learn the definition of a logarithm:

{{{log(B,(A))}}} = the EXPONENT TO WHICH BASE B MUST BE RAISED TO GIVE
THE NUMBER A.

So

{{{log(2,(8))}}} = the EXPONENT TO WHICH 2 MUST BE RAISED TO GIVE 8.

We know that 2 must be raised to the 3rd power to get 8.

Therefore 3 is the answer, and

{{{log(2,(8)) = 3}}}
