Answer:
log8(2) = 1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
I don't know if they mean this by an exponential expression but:
set x = log8(2), then
8^x = 8^(log8(2))
By logarithmic properties:
8^x = 2.
notice that 8 = 2^3.
By exponential properties:
8^x = (2^3)^x = 2^(3x)
So 2^(3x) = 2 = 2^1.
Comparing exponents gives:
3x = 1 <=> x = 1/3.
So log8(2) = 1/3.
