Simplify the logarithm
log%289%2C27%29
It can be evaluated, but not simplified.
Also log%289%2C27%29+=+1+%2B+log%289%2C3%29 but that's not simpler.
Simplified can be a matter of opinion in some cases.
--------
log%289%2C27%29
9 = 3^2
27 = 3^3
---> log%289%2C27%29+=+1.5
log%289%2C27%29+=+log%2827%29%2Flog%289%29+=+1.5
