Let log2 32 = x.
What logx y means is that x raised to some power, lets call it "z" = y
What this is saying is that 2 ^x = 32
32 can be re-written as 2 ^ 5.
So, we have 2 ^ x = 2 ^ 5.
Thus, x = 5

Since 2^5 = 32,
log2(32) = 5

The question: To which power must you raise 2 to get 32?
The answer is 5 because 2^5 =32

5.
log subcript 2 means: log base 2.
question is restated best like this:
to what power of 2 equals 32, ie 2^X=32
answer is 5.
2*2*2*2*2=32

log[base 2] 32 = log[base 2] 2^5 = 5
