You can put this solution on YOUR website!
log9(1/3)=y
log9(3^-1)=y
-log9(3)=y
3=9^-y
-log10(3)/log10(9)=y
-log10(3)/log10(3^2)=y
-log10(3)/[2*log10(3)]=y
-1/2=y

Need to solve:
log9(1/3)=y
Write in exponential form:
9^y = 1/3
3^2y = 3^-1
2y=-1
y = -1/2
---------------------
Need to simplify:
e^x * 4e^(2x+1)
= 4 e^(2x+1+x)
= 4^(3x+1)
