Key Concepts
Here are the essential concepts you must grasp in order to answer the question correctly.
Logarithmic Properties
Logarithmic properties are rules that govern the manipulation of logarithms. Key properties include the product rule (logb(mn) = logb(m) + logb(n)), the quotient rule (logb(m/n) = logb(m) - logb(n)), and the power rule (logb(m^k) = k * logb(m)). Understanding these properties is essential for rewriting logarithmic expressions in simpler forms.

Change of Base Formula
The change of base formula allows us to express logarithms in terms of logarithms of a different base. It states that logb(a) = logk(a) / logk(b) for any positive k. This is particularly useful when converting logarithmic expressions to a more manageable base, such as base 10 or base e.

Exponential Relationships
Logarithms are the inverse operations of exponentiation. For example, if logb(x) = y, then b^y = x. This relationship is crucial for understanding how to express logarithmic values in terms of their base and exponent, which is necessary for rewriting expressions like logb(8) in terms of logb(2) and logb(3).
