How do you write a common and natural logarithm?

Question

Write log8(96) as a common logarithm and a natural logarithm

Answer 1

Hi Dazzmine, you're looking for the "change of base formula" (you can google it) Log_b x = Log_a x/Log_a b

Common logs have a=10 and when a=10, we usually don't write it.

Natural logs have a equal to e and we usually write ln x instead of log_ex.

The common log would be log 96 / log 8.
