Question

Express this equation in logarithmic form.

23 = 8

Answer 1

The exponential equation
`2^3 = 8` is equivalent to the log form equation
`\log_2(8) = 3`

The base of the log is the same as the base of the exponent. The 8 inside the log argument is the right hand side of the original equation. The goal with logs is to isolate the exponent, so that's why 3 is on its own side
