Recall what you know about the change of base formula. Using the formula, write a new logarithm in 1–2 sentences so that log8256
can be easily evaluated.(2 points)
1 answer
The change of base formula states that log_b(a) = log_c(a)/log_c(b), where c is any base. By using this formula, we can rewrite log8256 as log2(256)/log2(8), which simplifies to 8/3 or 2.67.
