Solve the Logarithmic Equation: log₆8 Step by Step

To solve the problem $\log_6 8$, we need to express the number 8 as a power of a base that simplifies the logarithm. We can write 8 as $2^3$, because 8 equals 2 multiplied by itself three times.

Let's use the power property of logarithms, which is:

• $\log_b (a^n) = n \log_b a$

Applying this property to $\log_6 8$, we have:

$\log_6 8 = \log_6 (2^3)$

Using the power property, this becomes:

$\log_6 (2^3) = 3 \log_6 2$

Therefore, the expression for $\log_6 8$ in terms of $\log_6 2$ is:

$3 \log_6 2$.
