The change of base formula states that log_a(b) = log_c(b) / log_c(a), where a, b, and c are any positive real numbers and c is not equal to 1.

In this case, we want to find log(2) 43 to the nearest thousandth, which means we need to find log_c(43) / log_c(2), where c can be any base.

Let's use the common base 10.

log(2) 43 = log(43) / log(2)

log(2) 43 ≈ 1.632

Therefore, the value equivalent to log(2) 43 to the nearest thousandth is 1.632.
