log_9(27)=3/2

Explanation:

Compare to a known condition

Suppose we had " "log_10(x)=y

This is the same as " "10^y=x" " ul(vec("compare to"))" " 9^(3/2)=27

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So in the case of the question:

Instead of log to base 10 -> log_10 we have log to base 9-> log_9

For the index of y we have 3/2

For the answer of x we have 27

log_9 27 = 3/2

Explanation:

log_ab= c can be changed to a^c = b

For the logarithmic function 9^(3/2) = 27

a = 9
b = 27
c = 3/2

This can become

log_9 27 = 3/2
