You can put this solution on YOUR website!
I need to know what A and B are so that logA/logB = 2/3.
\n" ); document.write( "----------
\n" ); document.write( "The \"change of base rule\" says logA/logB = log(baseB)A
\n" ); document.write( "----------
\n" ); document.write( "So your equation becomes
\n" ); document.write( "log(base B)A = 2/3
\n" ); document.write( "-------------
\n" ); document.write( "Writing that in exponential form you get:
\n" ); document.write( "A = B(2/3)
\n" ); document.write( "------------
\n" ); document.write( "Therefore B = A(3/2)
\n" ); document.write( "====================
