To find log8 f (p), we need to use the logarithmic rule that states:
log base a of b = c if and only if a^c = b.
In this case, our base is 8 and our value is f (p) = 8^p.
So, we can rewrite the equation as:
log8 f (p) = c if and only if 8^c = f (p).
Substituting f (p) = 8^p, we have:
log8 f (p) = c if and only if 8^c = 8^p.
Since the bases are the same, we can equate the exponents:
c = p.
Therefore, log8 f (p) = p.
