basic definition of logs says:

y = b^x if and only if logb(y) = x

your equation says 1/81 = 3^-4

replace y with 1/81 and b with 3 and x with -4 and the basic definition of logs equation becomes:

1/81 = 3^-4 if and only if log3(1/81) = -4

you can use your calculator to find the value of log3(1/81).

you use the log base conversion formula of log3(1/81) = log(1/81)/log(3).

use the calculator to find that log(1/81)/log(3) = -4.

your solution is:

1/81 = 3^-4 if and only if log3(1/81) = -4
