@mathstudent55 what if it's log2 8=x would my answer be 2^8=x?

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

The log is the exponent. the log of that expression is x, so x is the exponent.

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

The base of the log is the base of the power. That is correct.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh so my answer would be 2^x=8

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Correct. Remember, logarithm is the exponent you raise the base to, to get the number whose log you are taking.
