I need help with simplifying logarithms log[4]{log[3](log[2] 8)}

OpenStudy (anonymous):

like this?: \[\log_4(\log_3(\log_2(8)))\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes, except the 8 is not in it's own parenthesis

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lets look at the inside part first: \[\log_2(8) = \log_2(2^{3}) = 3\] so now we have: \[\log_4(\log_3(3))\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\log_3(3) = 1\] so now we have: \[\log_4(1)\] and the log of 1 equals 0 no matter what the base, so the final answer is 0 :)

is there anything you need me to explain in more detail?
