The value of log 2 with base 8 is equal to 1/3. The logarithm of 2 with base 8 is written as log82, so the formula of log2 base 8 is given by
log82 = 1/3.
Value of log 2 base 8
Answer: The value of log 2 base 8 is equal to 1/3, that is, log82 = 1/3.
Explanation:
At first, we will express 8 as a power of 2. As 8 = 2×2×2, we can write
8 = 23.
Now, using the rule logab = $\dfrac{1}{\log_b a}$, it follows that
log82 = $\dfrac{1}{\log_2 8}$
= $\dfrac{1}{\log_2 2^3}$ as we have 8 = 23.
= $\dfrac{1}{3}$, obtained by using the logarithm rule: logaam = m.
So the value of log 2 is equal to 1/3 when the base is 8.
