HI; I am struggling to why this works log base z to the power 3 (32) = log base 2 (32) / 3. Thanks.

$$\displaystyle \log_{2^3} 32 =x$$ $$\displaystyle (2^3)^x = 32$$ $$\displaystyle 2^{3x} = 2^5$$ 3x=5 x=5/3 $$\displaystyle \log_2 32 = 5$$ Continue

no the base is raised to the power 3 not the argument

Okay, so this is supposed to be $$\displaystyle log_2 (32 ^3) = \dfrac{1}{3} log_2 (32)$$? If so then that isn't correct. $$\displaystyle log_2 (32 ^3) = 3 ~ log_2 (32)$$. -Dan

Click to expand... $$\displaystyle log_z (32^3)$$ cannot be decomposed into anything without a z in it. Is there a typo? You are probably looking at a change of base formula problem: $$\displaystyle log_a b = \dfrac{log_c b}{log_c a}$$ -Dan
