Square root 9 = 3

destinyyyy · Answer

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

mathmale · Answer

You start with $$\sqrt{9}=3$$

mathmale · Answer

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

mathmale · Answer

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

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

mathmale · Answer

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