Write the following equation in its equivalent logarithmic form.

OpenStudy (destinyyyy):

Square root 9 = 3

OpenStudy (destinyyyy):

I have no clue how to solve this since it has no number next to square root 9.

OpenStudy (mathmale):

You start with \[\sqrt{9}=3\]

OpenStudy (mathmale):

The equivalent of the given equation, in exponential form, is \[9^{\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }}=3\]

OpenStudy (mathmale):

What is the base of that equation? Hint: the exponent is 1/2.

OpenStudy (daniel.ohearn1):

What is the exponent on 9 that gets you 3 is equivalent to writing log base 9 of 3...

OpenStudy (destinyyyy):

Answer 1/2=log 9 3

OpenStudy (mathmale):

Take the "log to base 9" of the equation \[9^{\frac{ 1 }{2 }}=3\]

OpenStudy (daniel.ohearn1):

right

OpenStudy (destinyyyy):

Was a tad confused since it did not have the 2 in front of square root 9.

OpenStudy (mathmale):

Dest: You're well on the way to solving this problem. However, please use either the Draw utility or the Equation Editor to write \[\log_{9}3=1/2 \]
