Identify the given logarithm: \( \log_3 17 \).
Recall the change of base formula: \( \log_b a = \frac{\log_c a}{\log_c b} \), where \( c \) is a new base, typically 10 for common logarithms.
Apply the change of base formula using common logarithms (base 10): \( \log_3 17 = \frac{\log_{10} 17}{\log_{10} 3} \).
Use a calculator to find \( \log_{10} 17 \) and \( \log_{10} 3 \).
Divide the result of \( \log_{10} 17 \) by \( \log_{10} 3 \) to evaluate \( \log_3 17 \).
