In need of a calculator genius

[Olde_English]

so im doing some logarithm problems and i don't know how to change my calculator from base 10 to base 2 log. or any other base log for that matter. Can anyone tell me how to do this? (i have a TI-84 Plus)thanks for helping out a calculus retard

lrn2change bases noob

and by this, i mean convert into log base ten or log base e. I think to go from 2 to e, you multiply by ln2/lnx for logbase2(x)

 

[1337]

oops, lnx/ln2

you cant do that directly, but you can use a shortcut that makes it number log base by going 2nd, then top button 2nd from left and then hit logbase... i think too lazt to grab my calc.

This is how I do it

log base 3 (2)=X

to

log (2)/log (3)=x
