Question

Solve log base 2 of one eighth.
A) -3
B) 3
C) -1/3
D) 1/3

Answer 1

To solve log base 2 of one eighth, we find the exponent to which 2 must be raised to obtain one eighth. The answer is -3.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve log base 2 of one eighth, we need to find the exponent to which 2 must be raised to obtain one eighth. In other words, we need to solve the equation 2^x = 1/8.

Writing both sides of the equation with the same base, we have 2^x = 2^(-3), since 1/8 is equal to 2^(-3). By equating the exponents, we get x = -3.

Therefore, the answer is A) -3.
