anonymous · Answer

Do you mean $\log_8 35?$

anonymous · Answer

yes

anonymous · Answer

Yes. You do need a calculator, but you also need to do something else before you do. Most calculators are programmed to use only base 10 and base e. THerefore, you need to use the change of base formula to plug it into a calculator.
$$\log_by = \frac{\log_cy}{\log_cb}$$Knowing this, what would $$\log_8 35$$be?

Alright. I am unfamiliar with that, so I'm just going to redirect you to wolfram...just make sure that you understand the change of base formula because that's ll this wants you to do. http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=log+35%2Flog+8
