Log9 x=3
Take both sides to be exponents of \(9\).
\(\Large\color{black}{\log_{\color{red}{a} }\color{green}{b}=\color{blue}{c}~~~~~~~~\Longrightarrow~~~~~~~~\color{green}{b}=\color{red}{a}^\color{blue}{c}}\)
\[ 9^{\log_9 x} = 9^3\implies x=9^3 \]
How
hey, can you tell me what x is in this expression \(\Large\color{black}{\log_{\color{red}{9} }\color{green}{x}=\color{blue}{3}}\) ? just apply the rule: \(\Large\color{black}{\log_{\color{red}{a} }\color{green}{b}=\color{blue}{c}~~~~~~~~\Longrightarrow~~~~~~~~\color{green}{b}=\color{red}{a}^\color{blue}{c}}\)
I really don't get thisπ©
okay, lets do a couple of example. when we have, \(\Large\color{black}{\log_{\color{red}{4} }\color{green}{x}=\color{blue}{2}}\) when we apply our rule, \(\Large\color{black}{\log_{\color{red}{4} }\color{green}{x}=\color{blue}{2}~~~~~~~~\Longrightarrow~~~~~~~~\color{green}{x}=\color{red}{4}^\color{blue}{2}=16}\)
I don't have time for examples time is running
And another one, lets say you have, \(\Large\color{black}{\log_{\color{red}{2} }\color{green}{w}=\color{blue}{3}}\) then we apply our rule, again, \(\Large\color{black}{\log_{\color{red}{2} }\color{green}{w}=\color{blue}{3}~~~~~~~~\Longrightarrow~~~~~~~~\color{green}{w}=\color{red}{2}^\color{blue}{3}=8}\)
you are taking a timed test?
It's a timed assignment I'm trying to graduate
but I think I can fairly say that my explanation is clear. And just swabbing answers is not going to get you anywhere.
Thank you for your help
helped?

so you understand?
No not really
\[ \log_{\color{red}9}x = 3 \]We just look at the base of the logarithm. In this case, it is \(9\). We take \(9\) to the power of each side. It is that simple. If we had \[ \log_{4} x= 6 \]We would take both sides as exponents of \(4\). \[ 4^{\log_4x}=4^6 \]The rule is that \(a^{\log_a x} = x\).
