No, *[tex \LARGE \log_8(x)\ =\ 3] does NOT translate to *[tex \LARGE 8^x\ =\ 3].  The definition of the logarithm function is:


*[tex \LARGE \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \log_b(x)\ =\ y \ \ \Rightarrow\ \ b^y = x]


So:


*[tex \LARGE \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \log_8(x)\ =\ 3 \ \ \Rightarrow\ \ 8^3 = x]


Use your calculator.
