I think:
\[x^{\log_x(a)} = a\]
I am not sure whether I am true or not..
OpenStudy (anonymous):
If above one is right then:
We will have:
\[\log(a) - \log(b) = \log(\frac{a}{b})\]
use this firstly..
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Here a = 1 and b = 2...
Can you use this formula??
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so it will be \[9^{\log \frac{ 1 }{ 2 }}\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
well i mean log base 9

Yep but don't forget to write base 9..
So it will be:
\[\huge 9^{\log_9(\frac{1}{2})}\]
Okay..
Now use the first formula that I gave.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
It is similar to \(x^{log_{x}(a)}\)..
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[9^{\log _{9}\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }}=\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Yep, according to me this should be the answer...
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so it should be 1/2??

or the entire equation?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
You have reduced entire expression to 1/2. That is it..!!
OpenStudy (anonymous):
oh! okay thank you!!!!!
OpenStudy (anonymous):
You are welcome dear...
