Work Step by Step

RECALL: The change-of-base formula for logarithms: $$\log_a{b} = \dfrac{\log_c{b}}{\log_c{a}}$$ Most calculators have the common logarithm $\log{a}$ or $\log_{10}{a}$. Use the change-of-base formula above and a calculator to obtain: \begin{align*} \log_2{7}&=\dfrac{\log7}{\log2}\\ &\approx 2.8074 \end{align*}
