How to Rewrite Expression Using Change of Base Formula?
- Start with the given logarithmic expression in a specific base, such as \( \log_b M \).
- Use the formula `\log_b M = \frac{\log_c M}{\log_c b}`, where \( c \) can be any base different from \( b \).
- Select \( c \) as a base convenient for the calculation or context, often base `10` (common logarithms) or base `2` (binary logarithms).
- Substitute the values of \( b \), \( M \), and \( c \) into the formula and simplify if necessary, ensuring the expression of the result clearly in terms of the new base \( c \).
