Answer 1

A

Answer 2

I've seen this question before and it seems oddly worded

Answer 3

B

Answer 4

So I'm not sure.

You would go from

\[\Large 3^y = 4\]

to

\[\Large y = \log_{3}(4)\]

Answer 5

as for the graphs, I have no idea why they go this route

Answer 6

I could not figure it out for crud :P I even went to mathway and wolf

Answer 7

yeah I couldn't figure it out the first time I saw it. I'm not sure what they're looking for exactly.

Answer 8

my initial guess was to look for the graph that has a root of

\[\Large \log_{3}(4) = \frac{\log(4)}{\log(3)} \approx 1.2618595\]

Answer 9

but I'm not sure
