literally this.
2^(some power) = 8
some power = log(base2)(8)

I tend to say this to everyone:

logarithms are exponents

That is, logarithms are the very thing using a given base that gives you an answer in exponential terms.

We define exp(a, b)=a^b.
Then, $exp(a, log_a c)=c$ sets the logarithm as the inverse of exp(a, -) for b.
